Most of Databricks management can be done from the GUI or CLI, but for Azure Service Principal, we can only manage it by the SCIM API. There's an open PR for adding support of SCIM API in Databricks CLI, but the lastest update is back to the beginning of 2021.

Azure pipeline checkout repository from another project

This post can be an extend to my previous post on variables and templates reuse
In fact, in addition to the variables and templates, I also need to reuse some non native Azure pipeline yaml files, for example some Python scripts defined in the shared template. If we use the same technic shown by the previous blog, the pipeline will throw error saying that it cannot find the Python script. This is because we need to checkout the remote repository at first before using the native pipeline yaml files.
