What functionality does the Databricks CLI provide?

The Databricks CLI (Command Line Interface) provides a command-line interface for automation, allowing users to perform various tasks without needing to interact with the web interface. This functionality is particularly useful for automating complex workflows, managing clusters, jobs, and data, and integrating Databricks operations into scripts or other automated systems.

The CLI enables users to execute commands directly in their terminal or command prompt. By using scripts and batch processing, users can automate repetitive tasks and enhance their productivity, which is a core benefit of a command-line tool. This is ideal for users who prefer to work in a coding environment or need to streamline their workflows using scripts.

The other options describe interfaces that serve different purposes. A web-based interface typically involves a graphical user interface that allows users to interact with Databricks through a browser. A graphical tool for data visualization focuses on creating visual representations of data, which is distinct from command-line usage. A mobile interface would provide access to the Databricks platform on mobile devices, again not tied to the automation capabilities that the CLI offers. These options do not capture the specific functionalities related to automation that the CLI provides.
