Introduction to Microsoft Fabric for Beginners

Показать описание

Microsoft Fabric is built on Power BI and Azure Data Lake Storage, and includes capabilities from Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, and Azure Machine Learning. What makes Fabric unique is that it brings these capabilities together in a single, SaaS, integrated experience without the need for access to Azure resources.

OneCopy is a key component of OneLake that allows you to read data from a single copy, without moving or duplicating data.
OneLake is built on top of Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) and data can be stored in any format, including Delta, Parquet, CSV, JSON, and more

Data that is stored in OneLake is then directly accessible by all of the compute engines without needing to be moved or copied. For tabular data, the analytical engines in Fabric will write data in delta-parquet format and all engines interact with the format seamlessly.

One important feature of OneLake is the ability to create shortcuts, which are embedded references within OneLake that point to other files or storage locations. Shortcuts allow you to quickly source your existing cloud data without having to copy it, and enables Fabric experiences to derive data from the same source to always be in sync.

Lastly, Fabric is bringing the low-to-no-code concept, functionality, and approach that has successfully empowered many users on the Power Platform to its own SaaS offering. While it maintains scale and integrity for data science, data warehousing, data ingestion and prep, and analytics, it also offers many ways to visually represent code that previously blocked many from going further.
