Hello everyone, last week was PACKED full of announcements, and Fabric news, and new features. If you missed all the announcements, you can get up-to-speed by reading this blog post. Whether you were at FabCon or not, I'm curious, which of these announcements got you most excited?! And, most importantly... why? Let me know in the comments below!

Dear all, There is an awesome conference coming up in September in Vienna, the "European Microsoft Fabric Community Conference": https://www.sharepointeurope.com/european-microsoft-fabric-community-conference/ Cheers, Dana *In case someone already posted about it, please let me know to remove this one.

It's here!!! The Public Preview of the Fabric Capacity Cost Estimator... 👉🔗 Try it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-fabric/capacity-estimator This is something that everyone asks, when they are assessing the potential costs of implementing Fabric. To be honest it's almost impossible to get an accurate answer, because it depends on so many variables, but hopefully with this new tool, you can get a very rough ballpark figure, quickly. Give it a go, and let me know your thoughts!

Hey everyone! I came back from a trip to Seattle/Vegas last week (MVP Summit/Fabcon) and it was great to see so much excitement around Fabric! I managed to record some snippets from the keynote and edited them into a series of videos if it's helpful for anyone! - Fabcon 2025: Key Feature announcements unwrapped! – Rishi Sapra

Microsoft just released (public preview) the ability to create managed private endpoints! Is this something you've been waiting for and are going to be using?! Let me know below Here's some useful links Announcement Documentation What are Managed Private Endpoints? (from the documentation) - Managed private endpoints are private endpoints that workspace admins can create to connect to data sources that are behind a firewall or that are blocked from accessing from the public internet. - Managed private endpoints allow Fabric Spark workloads to securely access data sources without exposing them to the public network or requiring complex network configurations. - The private endpoints provide a secure way to connect and access the data from these data sources through Fabric Spark items such as notebooks and Spark job definitions. - Managed private endpoints are created and managed by Microsoft Fabric, and the user only needs to specify the resource ID of the data source and the target subresource, and provide a justification of their access request for the data source admin who has to approve it. - Managed private endpoints support various data sources, such as Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Cosmos DB, Application gateway, Azure Key Vault, and many more. For more information about supported data sources for managed private endpoints in Fabric, see Supported data sources
