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! 🙌🏽

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.
