How do I use databricks-cli without manual configuration

Question

I want to use databricks cli:

databricks clusters list

but this requires a manual step that requires interactive work with the user:

databricks configure --token

Is there a way to use databricks cli without manual intervention so that you can run it as part of a ci/cd pipeline?

Answer 1

You can just export the variables DATABRICKS_HOST and DATABRICKS_TOKEN. With those variables, you don't need a config file.
