Everything brought in and available for analysis in a single Service. Microsoft Fabric is a unified platform that brings all your analytics under a single service.
OneLake - per Fabric instance. Stores all data within the SaaS data-lake (scales itself), automatically index data, abides by AIP rules/labels. Intelligent data foundations.
All data is held in the Delta Parquet format (same format for any source). Data is ready to use. One copy of data.
SaaS single service, no need to bring pieces together, one data sources don't need to move and slice data. Can query using multiple approaches. Can create a short cut to files/folders/databricks and it becomes part of OneLake. Data stays at original source but can be worked with.
Mirroring in MS Fabric - get same benefits of shortcuts, but can connect to databases including SnowFlake, Dataverse, AWS S3 buckets & CosmosDB. Mirroring is always up to date in real time. Data is stored in Delta Parquet format so can now use. With these 2 approaches can use nearly any source. lots of connectors so could use: Dataverse, Cosmos, Snowflake, SQL Server, blobs on S3,.. Then can write queries across all the data.
Copilot in Microsoft Fabric will help bring in all the data, and help analyse the data.
Copilot for Power BI is amazing for building reports - need tp play with it.
