What functionality does the Databricks CLI provide?

The Databricks CLI (Command Line Interface) provides the functionality for command-line management of Databricks resources. It allows users to interact with Databricks and manage various resources such as clusters, jobs, and notebooks directly from their terminal or command prompt, which can be very efficient for automation and scripting tasks.

Using the CLI, users can perform a range of operations, such as creating, starting, stopping, and deleting clusters, as well as running jobs and managing libraries. This capability is particularly beneficial for developers and data engineers who prefer working in a command-line environment or need to embed Databricks operations within scripts or automated workflows.

The other choices focus on areas that the CLI does not cover. For instance, visualization of data reports is typically handled within the Databricks workspace UI or through integrated visualization tools, rather than through command-line operations. Data warehousing solutions pertain more to the architecture and storage handling of data rather than CLI management. Automated data backups might involve various data management operations but are not a direct functionality provided by the Databricks CLI.
