### Description{% #description %}

The rule flags `databricks_cluster` resources where `gcp_attributes.availability` is set to `PREEMPTIBLE_GCP`, which violates best practices. Clusters should use a non-preemptible availability setting.

## Compliant Code Examples{% #compliant-code-examples %}

```terraform
resource "databricks_cluster" "negative" {
  cluster_name            = "Shared Autoscaling"
  spark_version           = data.databricks_spark_version.latest.id
  node_type_id            = data.databricks_node_type.smallest.id
  autotermination_minutes = 20
  autoscale {
    min_workers = 1
    max_workers = 50
  }
  gcp_attributes {
    availability           = "PREEMPTIBLE_WITH_FALLBACK_GCP"
    zone_id                = "auto"
    first_on_demand        = 1
    spot_bid_price_percent = 100
  }
}
```

## Non-Compliant Code Examples{% #non-compliant-code-examples %}

```terraform
resource "databricks_cluster" "positive" {
  cluster_name            = "data"
  spark_version           = data.databricks_spark_version.latest.id
  node_type_id            = data.databricks_node_type.smallest.id
  autotermination_minutes = 20
  autoscale {
    min_workers = 1
    max_workers = 50
  }
  gcp_attributes {
    availability           = "PREEMPTIBLE_GCP"
    zone_id                = "AUTO"
  }
}
```
