What it does

Workspace base environments are now generally available. Workspace base environments let workspace admins create and manage pre built, cached environments for serverless notebooks. This feature will roll out in workspaces enabled for the compliance security profile starting in late May 2026.

Why it matters

When a workspace base environment is selected, the pre built cached environment loads quickly, reducing startup time for notebooks and jobs.
