BIG NEWS - two security features now available on all Capacity SKUs

🔥

Big announcement yesterday: Use Trusted workspace access and Managed Private endpoints in Fabric with any F capacity and enjoy the benefits of secure and optimized data access and connectivity

As the name suggested, you can now use Trusted Workspace Access and Private Endpoints on any F-SKU capacity. Previously it was reserved for F64 and above, so it's great that they are now making these features available to everyone.

From the article:

Trusted workspace access allows seamless and secure access to firewall enabled Azure storage accounts. It is designed to help you securely and easily access data stored in Storage accounts from Fabric workspaces, without compromising on performance or functionality. This feature extends the power and flexibility of OneLake shortcuts to work with data in protected storage accounts in place without compromising on security. You can also use this capability with Data pipelines and the COPY INTO feature of Fabric warehouses to ingest data securely and easily into Fabric workspaces. To get started with this feature and to learn about limitations, see Trusted workspace access in Microsoft Fabric – Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn. This feature can be used in any F capacity.

Managed private endpoints provide secure connectivity from Fabric to data sources that are behind a firewall or not accessible from the public internet. Managed Private Endpoints enable Fabric Data Engineering items to access data sources securely without exposing them to the public network or requiring complex network configurations. Managed private endpoints are supported for various data sources, such as Azure Storage, Azure SQL Databases, and many others – the most recent addition being Azure Event Hub and Azure IOT Hub. To learn more about Managed Private Endpoints and supported data sources see Overview of managed private endpoints for Microsoft Fabric – Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn. This feature can be used in any F capacity as well as Trial capacity.
