01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Attach a cluster policy.

03

Fix

The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.

Applies to
Databricks Cluster on AWS, Databricks Cluster on Azure, Databricks Cluster on Google Cloud
The fix, by hand on AWS
  1. Attach a cluster policy that bounds node type, workers, and auto-termination.
  2. Restrict freehand cluster creation so new clusters must use a policy.

These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
