Default authentication
The Databricks SDK exposes a Workspace Client class that you will use throughout this course to interact with a Databricks workspace. By default, this class is instantiated without parameters, as the SDK automatically retrieves the environment variables needed to authenticate to a Databricks workspace.
The variable dbrx_host, containing the address of the Databricks host, has been preloaded.
This exercise is part of the course
