+# Complex variables and lookups
+
+This Declarative Automation Bundles example shows `type: complex` variables and `lookup` variables.
+It resolves warehouse, cluster policy, service principal, cluster, and job IDs by name.
+A small serverless job prints the resolved IDs.
+
+For more information, see the [variables documentation](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/bundles/variables).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* Databricks CLI v1.20.0 or above
+* A SQL warehouse, cluster policy, service principal, cluster, and job in the workspace
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Set lookup names in `databricks.yml` to resources in your workspace.
+
+2. Optional: override the complex `environment_spec` with a file.
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p .databricks/bundle/dev
+   printf '%s\n' '{"environment_spec":{"environment_version":"6"}}' > .databricks/bundle/dev/variable-overrides.json
+   ```
+
+3. Optional: override a lookup ID: `export BUNDLE_VAR_warehouse_id=<warehouse-id>`
+
+4. Validate and deploy: `databricks bundle validate -t dev` then `databricks bundle deploy -t dev`
+
+5. Run the job: `databricks bundle run -t dev lookup_demo`
+
+6. Deploy and run production: `databricks bundle deploy -t prod` then `databricks bundle run -t prod lookup_demo`
+
+7. Remove resources: `databricks bundle destroy -t dev --auto-approve` and `databricks bundle destroy -t prod --auto-approve`
+
+| Override source | Example |
+| --- | --- |
+| CLI flag | `--var="warehouse_id=..."` |
+| Environment | `BUNDLE_VAR_warehouse_id=<id>` |
+| Overrides file | `.databricks/bundle/dev/variable-overrides.json` |
+| Default / target | `variables` in `databricks.yml` |
