Explanation

The control plane in the classic Databricks architecture is responsible for managing the Databricks workspace, user and group management, and cluster management, among other things. The Databricks web application is a part of the control plane that enables users to interact with the workspace, create and manage clusters, and work with notebooks, jobs, and data. Worker nodes and driver nodes are part of the data plane, which is responsible for executing data processing tasks. JDBC data sources and the Databricks Filesystem are services that are used by both the control plane and the data plane.
