Exam DBDEA Topics: platform Difficulty: medium

A data engineering team is standardizing the environment for a long-lived production pipeline. The tech lead asks everyone to select a Databricks Runtime version for the pipeline's clusters, ideally one that will keep receiving fixes for as long as possible. Team members disagree about what the Databricks Runtime actually is and what an LTS version offers. Which statement is correct?

  1. A. Databricks Runtime is only the operating system image installed on the cluster's nodes, with no data processing libraries included
  2. B. Databricks Runtime packages Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and core libraries, and LTS versions receive fixes for an extended period
  3. C. Databricks Runtime LTS versions are the oldest and slowest releases available, so new pipelines should always use the latest non-LTS version instead
  4. D. Databricks Runtime versions are picked automatically for each notebook session, and cannot be pinned on the cluster
