August 2025 highlights for databricks/terraform-databricks-sra: Delivered two key features with supporting tests and documentation, enhancing network policy isolation and SAT behavior across Azure deployments. Key features and related work: - Hub and Spoke Network Policy Separation: Introduced a dedicated hub network policy with distinct internet access configurations and refined SAT URL allowances to support hub-specific needs. Commit: 28145209e2eee147476532ecea96e6b42bb1de03. - SAT compute mode defaults and options (classic vs serverless): Updated SAT configuration to default to classic compute to enable access across all spoke workspaces; clarified serverless options and impact in docs. Commits: 96fad984ba9820efd0722d6bd0f706f831910e1b; a299e3a81f1e774828a4fd39816d63ec553cc9ed (docs). Major bugs fixed: - None reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened multi-workspace isolation and security posture through hub-specific network policy and clearer SAT behavior. - Improved operational reliability for Azure deployments by ensuring SAT runs on classic compute by default, enabling access across all spoke workspaces. - Accelerated developer efficiency with updated tests and Terraform configurations reflecting new defaults and policies. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Terraform and Azure deployments, network policy modeling, and SAT (Secure Access Technology) compute mode configurations. - Testing, documentation, and policy refinement to support hub-based networking scenarios.
