July Talks with Rob and Mou

What is fabric-toolbox and why should I care?

The fabric-toolbox is Microsoft's growing open-source repository of accelerators, tools, and scripts built to solve real Fabric challenges. In this session we'll tour the toolbox — from FUAM, the Fabric Unified Admin Monitoring solution that gives you deep tenant visibility beyond the 14-day Capacity Metrics limit, to FCA for FinOps cost analysis, DAX performance testing, Semantic Model auditing, Data Factory migration assistance, and the MicrosoftFabricMgmt PowerShell module with 295+ cmdlets covering 48 resource types. Whether you're an admin, developer, or architect, there's something here for you. Leave knowing exactly which tools to reach for and how to get started.

About Rob

Rob was a SQL Server DBA with a passion for PowerShell, Azure, Automation, and SQL (PaaS geddit?). Now he just helps people make things. He is a Data Platform MVP and an Azure MVP, a PowerShell Conference Europe organiser, and maintainer of many open-source projects. He has spoken at and volunteered at many Data and PowerShell events all over the world. He is a proud supporter of the Data and PowerShell communities.

He relishes sharing and learning and can be found doing both via Social Medias and his blog. He spends most of his time looking at a screen and loves to solve problems. He knows that looking at a screen so much is bad for him because his wife tells him so. Thus, he is often out riding his bike as his eyes are not good enough to play cricket any more.

End-to-End Data Security in Microsoft Fabric: Deep Dive into OneLake Security

Attend this session to explore how Microsoft Fabric’s OneLake Security (preview) enables table- and folder-level security, row-level security (RLS) and column-level security (CLS) inside the OneLake Catalog. We’ll demo creating a security role, assigning access to specific folders/tables, defining filters on rows and columns, and verifying enforcement across Spark notebooks, the SQL analytics endpoint, and Power BI.
