Provisioning and configuring Spark pools

A Spark pool is an important component of Azure Synapse Analytics that allows us to perform data exploration and processing using the Apache Spark engine. Spark pools in Azure Synapse Analytics allow us to process data using programming languages such as PySpark, Scala, C#, and Spark SQL. In this recipe, we will learn how to provision and configure Spark pools in Synapse Analytics.

Getting ready
