Microsoft have released a new 'reference architecture' for DataOps in Microsoft Fabric - lots of interesting stuff in here. From the GitHub repo: "This sample aims to provide customers with a reference end-to-end (E2E) implementation of DataOps on Microsoft Fabric, covering non-functional aspects such as observability, security, data quality, and testing. It is designed as a reference implementation and should be customized to meet specific customer requirements."

Hey everyone, it's time for the first Monthly Product Update: January 2025. 👉🔗 Microsoft Fabric January 2025 update Take a look through, and let me know which one(s) you're most excited about! 👇

Hey everyone! I recently took and passed the DP-600 exam, and I wanted to share my experience and the resources that helped me along the way. A bit about me - I graduated recently and started working as a Data Consultant. I earned my PL-300 in November and have been using Power BI since then. I also have some SQL knowledge from my school days. What Helped Me the Most? ✅ Will's DP-600 Prep Videos Absolute game-changer! The way he breaks down concepts and walks through hands-on demos made learning easy and practical. Following along with him helped me get truly comfortable with the platform. 📚 Microsoft Learn Materials Quite helpful in reinforcing concepts. The practice assessments are definitely easier than the actual exam, but they're great for identifying areas to focus on. 📝 Skool Community Notes A fantastic resource that helped clarify key topics! ❓Exam Topics & Exam Prepper Highly recommend both for practice questions! - Exam Topics has a lot of discussions and more questions, but you need contributor access for full access. Free Exam Prep By IT Professionals | ExamTopics - Exam Prepper is free and great for extra practice, though with fewer discussions and questions. Exams | Examprepper Final Thoughts The exam is definitely more challenging than the practice assessments, so hands-on experience is key! If you're preparing, don't skip Will's content, use the Skool resources, and get as much hands-on experience as possible! Huge thanks to Will and this amazing community for all the support. 🙌 Wishing everyone studying for DP-600 the best of luck! 💪

Big news! Microsoft introduce Take Over feature for Fabric items: https://blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-US/blog/introducing-ownership-takeover-for-fabric-items/ This has been one of the big challenges in managing Fabric in an enterprise environment to date. When the creator/ owner of your Fabric items leaves your company, it was previously very difficult to re-assign the ownership of their items.

Hey all, I took the DP-700 today and passed! I will write a proper post with my experiences when I get home later today, but I’ll say it’s definitely a thorough test of your skills! Look forward to now switching to thinking about how best to teach the content to all of you! 🙌🏽
