Explanation:
Using service principals for connections to Databricks provides better security by isolating access credentials, reducing the risk of credential exposure. Service principals also improve auditability, as they can be easily tracked and managed separately from user accounts. Configuring and managing service principals involves creating and assigning roles, setting up authentication mechanisms, and regularly reviewing access permissions.
