Overview of changes
A few high level pages on some fundamental concepts in DataBricks and how it is different to how we are used to working with traditional computing.
Three new pages
DataBricks Fundamentals: How does DataBricks differ from usual computing (distributed and decoupled compute and storage). Covers at a high level the different kinds of storage and different kinds of compute available on the DataBricks platform.
Notebooks: Some high level information on what notebooks are and how they are used.
Workflows: Some high level information on what workflows are and how they can be used.
Why are these changes being made?
DataBricks is a bit of a paradigm shift from everything that analysts within the Department are used to. These pages attempt to start from what we're used to (traditional computers) and explain the difference of distributed cloud computing. They then give a bit of information about some of the core concepts that will be new to analysts.
Detailed description of changes
A page on how DataBricks is different from using a laptop/server for analysis, and some detail on the types of storage used and the different types of compute.
A page on notebooks and how they can be used.
A page on workflows and how they can be used.
None of these are instruction guides as such (with a bit of an exception for linking a repo to a users DataBricks workspace - this may be better suited elsewhere) but just an attempt to familiarise people with the concepts.
Links to each page added to the index page.
