Hi Team,

We created a new Azure Databricks workspace (without Vnet, Premium tier) today at 10.30 AM PDT. The deployment has been stuck in the "In Progress" state for over 5 hours.

We are currently on a critical migration deadline from Synapse to Databricks and this is blocking our progress.

Could you please let us know, how much time does this deployment usually take and any action needed from our end?

Hi Shankar Subburaman,
Thankyou for reaching microsoft Q&A!

We checked this with the backend team, and the issue was identified as a capacity constraint related to the metastore limits in the region. The team has now increased the metastore limit, and the workspace deployment has successfully progressed.

Typically, Azure Databricks workspace deployment completes within a few minutes, and no action is required from the user side. In this case, the delay was due to a backend limitation, which has now been resolved.
