Marc Lelijveld shares an experience:
Last week, I had a situation in which a client wanted to purchase a reserved instance Fabric capacity. Me being me, I assumed it would be super straight forward to purchase through Azure. However, at some point I was lost in the process where the official documentation confused even more. In the end, I figured out and managed to get a capacity running based on the Reserved Instance pricing. I didn’t find any other blogs or articles describing this confusion or specific case. Therefore, I decided to write down my thoughts and findings in a blog.
This blog is not only relevant if you work with Microsoft Fabric, but also for anyone currently working with Power BI Premium. Given the deprecation of Power BI Premium capacities, you have to switch to Fabric capacities sooner or later.
Read on to learn more about the differences between pay-as-you-go and reserved instance capacities, the process to make a reservation, and what comes after that before you have a Microsoft Fabric capacity ready to go.
