Databricks GENAI-ASSOC App Deployment Guide

Study Databricks GENAI-ASSOC App Deployment: key concepts, common traps, and exam decision cues.

This chapter turns development into a deployable Databricks solution. The exam tests packaging, retrieval infrastructure, serving routes, governed registration, endpoint access, prompt lifecycle, and newer MCP integration patterns.

Work this domain in order

Lesson Focus
4.1 Pyfunc & RAG Learn the basic packaged components of a deployable RAG application.
4.2 Vector Search & Serving Learn retrieval and serving infrastructure choices.
4.3 UC, Endpoints & Memory Learn how governed registration, endpoint access, and persistent state fit together.
4.4 CI/CD, MCP & Interfaces Learn the operational patterns that move the app across environments and into real use.

Fast routing inside this chapter

If the question is really about… Go first to…
pyfunc packaging or basic chain components 4.1 Pyfunc & RAG
Vector Search, Foundation Model APIs, or serving route 4.2 Vector Search & Serving
Unity Catalog registration, endpoint access, or persistent memory 4.3 UC, Endpoints & Memory
CI/CD, prompt lifecycle, MCP, or interactive interfaces 4.4 CI/CD, MCP & Interfaces

What strong answers usually do

  • package only the components the app really needs
  • keep retrieval, serving, governance, and state management in separate buckets
  • treat deployment and lifecycle discipline as part of the system, not as afterthoughts
