Thank you for the intro to pricing! But.. I'm still confused.. SKUs..CPUs..(still not clear why i may need 2048 capacity units instead of 2 units, and how they influence performance of datalake and PBI reports). It will be great If you consider different use cases of using fabric (for small business, medium, large, etc) in your future videos

How do "Capacity Units" even work. I deployed F8 with a tiny amount of CU's and ran a query against the new york taxi dataset and it showed 70+ CU's in the metrics app. The query completed, but it was WAY over my capacity.
@GuyInACube Жыл бұрын
It's a compute meter. Think of it like CPU cycles. I'll mark down to try and explain that in more detail to help understand it. The preview workloads aren't counting towards CU usage until August 1st, so it's not going to throttle you for now.

Is it right assume that an organization with existing E5 licensing (everyone able to be assigned a Pro License) now would simply incur additional expense for Power BI usage because you must commit to a Fabric Capacity on top of individual licensing to run Power BI now? Or can an org simply disable Fabric at the tenant/capacity level and run as they did before with shared Power BI compute and Pro/PPU Licensing (no Premium Capacity)?

that is EXACTLY what that means --- they have taken what was at one time a service you paid $20 pu/pm to use, and applied a subscription capacity-use pricing scheme on top of it -- AND, bc they love their small clients so much, you still pay the $20 pm. Thanks for shopping at MS, if you dont like it, tough!

This is nothing short of another MS created pricing nightmare -- this Fabric is a high-priced firehose scheme is designed to rake in subscription usage-based revenue from the very large enterprise willing to spend millions for their pbi experience. I have a client with 100 potential premium users and estimate the cost to be $96k per year (when we know only 20% of the subscribers will take advantage of the premium functionality). The small to medium sized biz has no chance to continue using PBI in a useful way ---- nice job MS, ... I'm sending my clients to Tableau or keeping them in Excel.

Rather than go serverless like other cloud provider. At this point I think I would rather go full databricks or just migrate to another cloud. A lot of things that fabrics brings to the table is sounds great but the pricing.... Synapse Spark / Databricks is pay per uptime and no reservation needed. If you don't execute anything you are paying nothing. But in Fabric, you need to commit to your capacity first! And hope you provisions enough capacity and hope other resources in Fabric didn't take all of those CUs away way too much.
