TokensUsing Compute Advisor
- Set the context. Choose the region, compute type, subscription plan, Photon setting and compliance security profile.
- Choose a driver and workers. Compare per-node resources as well as total cluster resources. More vCPUs do not guarantee a faster job.
- Measure completed work. Use your measured job duration to compare the hourly estimates and the cost of a successful run.
What does the estimate include?
It adds EC2 and Databricks compute charges for the selected nodes. The compliance profile can add its published security uplift to the Databricks portion. Storage, networking, tax and negotiated discounts need separate treatment.
Can it check availability or launch a cluster?
No. The tool does not connect to a workspace, check live AZ capacity or create resources. The optional local node-type file narrows the choices but does not establish launch eligibility.
How do I share or reset a comparison?
Copy the address bar to share its settings, or export a comparison record. Reset all restores the defaults and clears the locally imported file. The TokensAndTea logo opens the main website.
