Microsoft Fabric Blog announces the GA release of the Fabric Eventstreams SQL operator, focusing on code-first SQL transformations for real-time pipelines, including multi-destination fan-out, built-in testing, and event-time processing for late and out-of-order data.
Microsoft Fabric Blog announces a preview feature that mirrors a Dremio Iceberg catalog into OneLake using shortcuts for a zero-copy approach, so Fabric workloads can query Dremio-managed tables without duplicating data or building ETL pipelines.
stclarke shares a LinkedIn post about Cricket Australia’s Live app, highlighting how Azure OpenAI and Azure Cosmos DB power “AI Insights” that let fans explore match context, player stats, and cricket history with fast, personalized responses.
Microsoft Fabric Blog announces GA support for nested folders in OneLake shortcut transformations, enabling recursive discovery and incremental processing of structured files (CSV, Parquet, JSON) across subfolders and writing results into Delta tables while preserving directory structure and preventing shortcut cycles.
Microsoft Fabric Blog announces a preview feature for OneLake: resource instance rules, which let Fabric workspace admins allow inbound access from specific Azure resource identities (ARM IDs) instead of relying on IP allowlists, while still working alongside Private Link and IP firewall rules.
Microsoft Fabric Blog announces general availability of cross-workspace logging for MLflow in Microsoft Fabric, enabling teams to promote experiments and registered models across Dev/Test/Prod workspaces using standard MLflow APIs, with support for enterprise network controls like Outbound Access Protection and managed private endpoints.
Aseem Datar announces expanded preview access for Microsoft Discovery, an Azure-based agentic AI platform for R&D. The post explains how Discovery combines agent orchestration, graph-based knowledge, and HPC to run iterative “discovery loops,” and shares early customer examples in materials science, oncology research, engineering simulation, and chip design.
Nikola Zagorac explains how SQL Server 2025/Azure SQL Change Event Streaming (CES) can push row-level change events (in CloudEvents JSON) directly into Microsoft Fabric Eventstream via an Event Hubs–compatible custom endpoint, enabling near-real-time analytics and downstream routing in Fabric Real-Time Intelligence.
Abhishek Narain announces the general availability of workspace outbound access protection (OAP) for Microsoft Fabric Data Factory workloads, explaining how workspace admins can restrict outbound connections to trusted endpoints to improve security, prevent data exfiltration, and support compliance needs.
Microsoft Fabric Blog announces a preview of Customer-Managed Keys (CMK) for Fabric Eventhouse, letting customers manage their own encryption keys to meet compliance and regulatory requirements and add an extra layer of protection for data stored in Eventhouse.
Microsoft Fabric Blog explains how Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI assistants and agents (including GitHub Copilot and Copilot Studio) to discover and operate Microsoft Fabric via new Local (GA) and Remote (preview) MCP servers, covering OneLake operations, API-grounded code generation, and security controls like Entra ID, RBAC, and audit logs.
Microsoft Fabric Blog announces a Preview feature that adds a dbt job activity to Microsoft Fabric pipelines, letting teams orchestrate dbt transformations with pipeline dependencies, parameters, notifications, and run monitoring in one place.
Microsoft Fabric Blog explains two pragmatic updates to a Fabric-based agentic app reference implementation: script-driven deployment using Microsoft Fabric REST APIs and an optional read-only Fabric Data Agent for governed data Q&A, aimed at safer, more repeatable production operations.
Microsoft Fabric Blog explains how Microsoft Fabric Eventstream (Real-Time Intelligence) handles inbound and outbound connectivity and how to pick between managed private endpoints, tenant/workspace private links, and streaming connector VNet injection to secure streaming sources in private networks.
Microsoft Fabric Blog introduces the generally available OneLake MCP tools, showing how an AI agent can discover Fabric items, inspect schemas, map OneLake storage, and assess mirrored-database health through a single natural-language conversation (no code or portal clicks).
Microsoft Fabric Blog explains what customers are asking about Fabric Data Factory vs Azure Data Factory (ADF): when to migrate, how mature it is, and what new capabilities you gain—like Mirroring to OneLake, Copy Jobs with CDC, Dataflows Gen2, Copilot assistance, and managed Airflow/dbt execution.
The Microsoft Fabric Blog introduces Capacity Scheduler (preview) for Eventhouse, explaining how teams can schedule minimum capacity across the week to better match predictable real-time analytics patterns while keeping autoscale enabled.
Microsoft Fabric Blog explains how Fabric’s “Analyze data with” entry points are being unified across Lakehouse, Data Warehouse, and Eventhouse (Preview), embedding Eventhouse Endpoint alongside SQL Endpoint and Notebooks to make analysis more discoverable and consistent.
Microsoft Fabric Blog introduces (in preview) how Eventhouse in Microsoft Fabric unifies real-time analytics with anomaly detection, data agent integration, SQL endpoints, and notebooks—aiming to move teams from live event signals to investigation and action without duplicating data or stitching multiple tools.
Microsoft Fabric Blog announces that Fabric Data Warehouse now supports running certain ALTER TABLE operations inside explicit transactions, enabling atomic schema changes with automatic rollback for safer deployments.
