I spy with my little eye...

This is a pretty big one. No official announcement yet, perhaps they will announce formally at next week's conference... But if you take a look at some of the REST API endpoint documentation (e.g. this Create Lakehouse endpoint), you will notice a small, but impactful change (see image). You will see that you can now create items from a Service Principal account (which was previously not supported). What does this mean, you might be asking? Well, traditionally, when you create things like a Lakehouse in Fabric, you become the owner. A Service Principal (which can be created and managed in Azure Entra ID) is a generic user account, that can be now used to create these items. This makes it easier to automate creation of new items at different stages in a CI/CD pipeline. And means the 'Owner' is the Service Principal, not an individual. Is this something that you've been waiting for? Let me know how you'll be using it below 👇

Fabric Dojo is a new paid community I launched last week. In short, Fabric Dojo is a learning community to help you master Fabric Analytics Engineering, through hands-on exercises, mini-projects, plus constant support through live coaching calls and a supportive community. We've been open for one week now, and it's buzzing in there now, with 65 members already and growing every day! In 24 hours, the super early-bird price for Fabric Dojo membership (just $19/m) will be gone. This is the lowest cost it will ever be again, so if you're thinking about it, I recommend doing it quickly! And you can prepay for 12 months and get an even more discounted rate. If you want to learn more, I made a module here in the Classroom to tell you more about it. - About Fabric Dojo - Intro to Fabric Dojo Webinar - DP002 🟢 IoT project [Sample Project] - Feedback from students And if you're thinking "ah man, I would love to, but can't afford it at the moment" - I'm introducing two new ways to earn free membership passes for Fabric Dojo: - Each month here in the Learn Microsoft Fabric (free) community, the top three members on the Leaderboard will receive a free one-month pass into the Fabric Dojo. - If you reach Level 7 here in the Learn Microsoft Fabric (free) community, you will get a 3-month free pass for Fabric Dojo. You can learn a lot in three months! See your current level here. Still not sure how to earn points, read this, but simply you should provide high-value posts in the community, help others, and you will get likes, and likes==points.

Hi all, it's great to see so many of you working through practice questions for the DP-600. I'd like to make a few general points though: - please don't just copy and paste questions and expect the community to give you an answer - this is not helpful for your learning, or for the community really. - instead, re-create the problem within Fabric, most questions are fairly easy and quick to replicate within Fabric, and you will understand the problem and the solution far better, - in a small number of cases where it is hard to replicate a question in your own environment, study the documentation on MS Learn or use other resources to find the answer to your problem, - if none of these avenues help you answer a question, then by all means share your problem with the community, detailing the steps you have already taken to solve the problem, and where are you stuck. Also, please do not post questions from exam dumps - these are against Microsoft Exam policy and against the spirit of the exam. Many thanks, and good luck in your preparation.
