Hey all! Hope you're doing well, looking for your feedback on my next video I'm creating in the Power BI to Fabric series...
It's taking a while because I want to make a really definitive guide that covers everything you need know (literally everything!). A lot of the content has come from questions you have asked me here in the community. I want to share the structure with you to get your feedback and let me know if I have missed anything?
Introduction to getting data into Fabric
Data pipeline
- What is it?
- How to use it for data ingestion (walkthrough)
- When to use it? When not to use it?
- Implementation notes/ constraints
Dataflow Gen2
- What is it?
- How to use it for data ingestion (walkthrough)
- When to use it? When not to use it?
- Implementation notes/ constraints
Fabric notebooks (for data ingestion)
- What are they (in context of data ingestion)
- How to use it for data ingestion (walkthrough)
- When to use it? When not to use it?
- Implementation notes/ constraints
Fabric shortcuts
- What are they? How do they work?
- Current (and planned) locations you can shortcut to
- How to implement ADLS external shortcut (including the four different authentication types: organisational, Access Key, SAS, Service Principal).
- How to implement Amazon S3 shortcut
- How to implemnt internal OneLake shortcut
- When to use it? When not to use it?
- Implementation notes/ constraints
Database mirroring (currently in preview)
- What is it?
- Current (and planned) databases you can mirror in Fabric
- How to set it up
- When to use it? When not to use it?
- Implementation notes/ constraints
Side-by-side comparison of methods above looking in detail at:
- Cost comparison in usage
- Complexity (how difficult they are to setup and maintain)
Troubleshooting common issues (from this community and the Fabric forum):
- On-premise data
- Data gateways
- Firewalls/ Vnets/ Private
- Cross-region shortcuts
- Cross-workspace internal shortcuts
DID I MISS ANYTHING?! Thanks a lot!
