See all- How to effectively manage your Fabric ecosystem!Link visible for attendees
Abstract: Many companies are transitioning their PBI artifacts into Fabric and building new analytical stores in Fabric. How do you keep track of all those objects?
Today, we are going to talk about three tools that will help the administrator manage this chaos.
The FUAM governance framework can help you govern your ecosystem by providing reports on objects, users, capacities, access, etc.
What if this information is not enough? The semantic link labs python library can be used to manage objects within Fabric. This library is suited for Python notebooks within Fabric.
What if you need to create and manage the ecosystem outside of Fabric? The Fabric Command Line Interface allows the developer to automate tasks via Python running anywhere that is connected to the internet.
In short, learn how to manage and tame your Fabric ecosystem with these three tools.
