## Summary

Databricks says serverless compute usage has grown more than 3x in the past year. It adds serverless compute tags so every serverless DBU is attributed to a team, project, or cost center through system.billing.usage, with tag attribution in Beta. Serverless Compute Access Controls, now generally available, let admins grant Can Use or Can Manage on default serverless compute objects, and a third spend-limit control is coming.
