Implementing a Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse
To perform data analytics tasks, you normally have to work with data that resides in many different locations using many different tools. This disjointed process can be difficult and time-consuming. To address this issue, Microsoft Fabric provides a central data repository and an integrated suite of tools in a unified user interface.
In this lesson, I’ll start by giving you a quick overview of Microsoft Fabric. Then I’ll explain how lakehouses are designed. Finally, I’ll show you how to create a lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric, upload data to it, and query it.
