<p>I sat down with <a href="https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~alig/">Ali Ghodsi</a>, CEO and found of Databricks, and <a href="https://twitter.com/originaljgc">John Chirapurath</a>, GM for Data Platform Marketing at Microsoft related to the recent announcement of Azure Databricks.</p> <p>When I heard about the announcement, my first thoughts were two-fold. First, the possibility of optimized integrations with existing Azure services. This would be a big benefit to heavy Azure users who also want to use Spark. Second, the benefits of active directory to control Databricks access for large enterprise.</p> <p>Hear Ali and JG's thoughts and comments on what makes Azure Databricks a novel offering.</p> <p> </p>
