Shortcuts to Iceberg Tables in Microsoft Fabric

Teo Lachev makes a connection:

Snowflake is an increasingly popular option for data warehousing. One nice Snowflake feature is the ability to configure a table to save its data in Iceberg file format in the Snowflake own managed storage or external storage, including S3, GCS, ADLS Gen 2, and OneLake. As I wrote in the post “Give Me Your Data!”, Fabric supports shortcuts to Iceberg tables, in which case the data is not copied but exposed as a Parquet Delta table in a Fabric lakehouse. This could be useful when building Fabric-centric solutions on top of Snowflake without moving the data.

Iceberg isn’t just a Snowflake thing, though this is certainly helpful if you do have both Snowflake and Fabric.
