Exam DP-750 Topic 1 Question 79 Discussion

To meet your deployment needs with minimal administrative overhead, you should use Databricks Asset Bundle (DAB) targets combined with resource overrides or conditional lookups using Go template syntax in your databricks.yml file.
Instead of creating separate bundles or complex CI/CD logic, you can declare both jobs and the app inside the main resources block, and then filter or modify them per target environment.
Implementation Options
Depending on your preference for keeping configuration declarative or fully conditional, choose one of the two standard patterns:
*-> Option 1: Resource Overrides via targets (Recommended)
Define all components globally, but use the targets block to remove or empty out the configuration of the job you want to skip in development.yamlbundle:
name: my-unified-bundle
apps:
my_app:
# App configurations go here...
jobs:
job_shared:
# Configurations for the job deployed to BOTH dev and prod...
job_prod_only:
name: Only for Production
# Production configurations...
targets:
dev:
mode: development
workspace:
host: https://dev-workspace.cloud.databricks.com
# Keep administrative work low by overriding the prod job to null/empty resources:
jobs:
job_prod_only: !null
prod:
mode: production
workspace:
host: https://prod-workspace.cloud.databricks.com
Option 2: Go Template Conditional LogicIf you prefer not to use !null overrides, you can evaluate the target environment dynamically at deployment time using standard Go templates.
