DevOps for Fabric - Git & Deployment Pipelines

🎯 The Problem: Someone overwrote the production report. Again. No one knows what changed. There's no way to roll back. Manual deployments at 11 PM on Friday - because that's when "no one is using the system."
💡 This Evening: We'll bring professional DevOps to Fabric. Git integration, deployment pipelines, variable libraries - the practices that make BI enterprise-ready.
⏱️ Save yourself: The 3 AM "we broke production" calls. Proper CI/CD means confident deployments, every time.
What you'll learn:
🏷️ Sensitivity Labels - Data classification and protection, and WHY labels flow with the data, not the container (data stays protected when copied)
🔐 Microsoft Purview - Unified governance across Azure and Fabric, and WHY Purview is the governance control plane (one place for all policies)
📂 Git Integration - Source control for Fabric items, and WHY Git enables collaboration and rollback (version history for everything!)
🚀 Deployment Pipelines - Dev → Test → Prod promotion, and WHY pipelines beat manual deployments (one click, no errors)
📋 Variable Libraries - Environment-specific configurations, and WHY hardcoded values kill maintainability (connection strings, paths)
DevOps Flow: Developer → Git Commit → PR Review → Merge → Deployment Pipeline → DEV → TEST → PROD (each with its own Variables)
Who should attend: Developers adopting DevOps for BI, Platform teams building CI/CD, Security teams implementing governance
