Databricks Cost Lab

Tools

Two interactive helpers, grouped by pillar. Use Cost when you are sizing Jobs or All-Purpose spend. Use Governance when country/region access must hold on Unity Catalog and into BI. Education only — not contract pricing or a compliance certificate.

Each tool pairs with the matching guides below the list.

Cost

Sketch DBU dollars plus a rough cloud VM band so the estimate looks like an invoice, not a DBU-only slide.

Governance

Pick a Unity Catalog RLS pattern first, then check whether BI identity (OAuth vs shared SP) will actually carry that policy.
