Question

A data engineering team's Databricks Asset Bundle project has grown large, with dozens of job and pipeline resource definitions all placed directly inside the top-level databricks.yml file. The lead engineer wants to split these resource definitions into separate YAML files under a resources/ directory so each team member can maintain their own jobs without causing merge conflicts in one giant file. Which databricks.yml mechanism allows these separate resource files to be combined into the bundle configuration?

Accepted Answer

Add an 'include' section in databricks.yml that lists the paths (or glob patterns) to the separate resource YAML files

Answer

Add an 'import' key under each target that references the external resource files

Answer

Reference the files using the 'artifacts' section so they are uploaded during deploy

Answer

Nothing is needed — the Databricks CLI automatically loads every .yml file in the project directory
