DevOps for Azure Databricks extension is no longer available. Here is the pipeline yml file that refers to the unavailable extension:
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-devops-docs-samples/blob/main/azure-data-pipeline/data_pipeline_ci_cd.yml

Customers have reported this issue and requested alternate methods. See here: microsoft/azdo-databricks#43 This documentation needs to be updated to provide our own custom script for deployment to Azure Databricks and ADF or documentation to be removed.

There is an alternate third-party extension:

The prerequisites still list the “DevOps for Azure Databricks” marketplace extension as required, but the new note says it’s no longer available. This is contradictory for readers; please either remove this prerequisite entirely or replace it with supported steps (and update the rest of the article/pipeline guidance accordingly).

This blockquote reads like internal PR/triage notes (“customers have reported…”, “this documentation needs to be updated…”). For published docs, please rewrite this as a user-facing admonition (for example, a [!NOTE]/[!IMPORTANT] callout) that clearly states what readers should do now (supported alternative) rather than describing what maintainers need to do.

> To use this sample, update the pipeline to deploy Azure Databricks and Azure Data Factory by using your own scripts or tasks instead of the unavailable extension. You can also evaluate a third-party alternative, such as [Databricks Deploy Scripts Tasks](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DataThirstLtd.databricksDeployScriptsTasks), if it meets your requirements.

This introduces a third-party extension link without the disclaimer used elsewhere in this repo when recommending external tools. Consider adding an [!IMPORTANT] disclaimer that Microsoft doesn’t endorse/support third-party extensions (see docs/repos/git/import-from-TFVC.md:69-71 for the standard wording).
