Example spicepod.yaml configuration, using Databricks service principal​

Spice supports the M2M OAuth flow with service principal credentials by utilizing the databricks_client_id and databricks_client_secret parameters. The runtime will automatically refresh the token.

The service principal must be granted the "Can Query" permission for model serving.

To learn more about how to set up the service principal, see Databricks M2M OAuth docs.
