- investigating Aug 05, 2026, 07:20 AM UTC
Starting at approximately 04:23 UTC on August 5, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks may be experiencing failures or delayed startup of Serverless Compute workloads, along with degraded availability or errors affecting Databricks SQL queries and Jobs. Symptoms • Serverless Compute clusters failing to start or terminating unexpectedly • Errors indicating the compute driver is unreachable • Databricks SQL queries and Jobs may fail, be delayed, or run degraded Recommendations No customer action is required at this time. Current Status The team is actively investigating Serverless Compute, Databricks SQL, and Jobs disruptions related to driver unreachable errors and cluster terminations; a probable root cause has been identified but not yet confirmed. Next Update We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.
