Renewed as a Microsoft MVP! π
I just got the news that I will continue as a Microsoft Data Platform MVP for another year.
Getting the award for the first time last year already felt unreal. But the renewal feels even better. It means the work actually mattered to people.
The photo is from the MVP Summit in Redmond earlier this year. One of the highlights of my first MVP year.
Thank you to everyone who watch my videos here on YouTube! More videos coming soon! π

Managing OneLake Security at Scale π
OneLake security recently went GA, and it's an excellent addition to Fabric. You can manage the roles through the Fabric UI, but in large environments that's typically not how you want to handle things. The roles can also be managed via APIs, which means role management can become part of your metadata-driven framework.
In next week's Fabric Forge call, we'll go through a working setup exactly like that, and see it live:
β OneLake data access roles
β Row and column level security on lakehouse tables
β Per-source config files as the source of truth for the whole role set
β A sync notebook applying the roles through the API
β Lessons learned from an actual large scale implementation

Heads up if you were planning to take AI-900: Microsoft retired it on June 30. π±
The new Azure AI Fundamentals exam is AI-901, and it is much more hands-on. Over half of the exam is about implementing AI solutions with Microsoft Foundry, and Python basics are now expected.

Did you know Microsoft Fabric now has a OneLake storage report? π
I have been using it this week and it is genuinely handy!
A bit of context. I just set up a Delta table maintenance process in one of my clients. The usual good housekeeping: run OPTIMIZE to compact the small files, then VACUUM to clean up the old ones that are no longer needed.
And after doing that, the question is always the same: ok, but how much storage did I actually save?
That is exactly where the OneLake storage report came in.
You find it here:
ππ¨π«π€π¬π©πππ π¬ππππ’π§π π¬ > ππ§ππππ€π > πππ¨π«ππ π π«ππ©π¨π«π
(you need to be a workspace admin, then hit Refresh)
It gives you a per-item breakdown of your OneLake storage, sortable by size. So I could quickly see, table by table, how much data was gone after the maintenance run. And from there it was easy to estimate the OneLake storage cost impact.
One detail I really like: the report splits out soft-deleted and hidden system data separately. That matters, because soft-deleted files are still billed at the same rate as active data until the retention window passes. So you can tell the difference between what is truly freed and what is still on the meter for a few more days.
Before this, getting an item-level storage breakdown was a bit of a pain. The Capacity Metrics app only shows the workspace total, and external tools do not show the hidden system data.
Small but useful feature. If you run any kind of table maintenance in Fabric, it is worth turning on.
Have you tried the OneLake storage report yet? π€

Fabric Forge just crossed 6,000 members! π
When I started Fabric Forge, I just wanted a place where people could actually learn Microsoft Fabric in a hands-on way, not just read about it.
Today it is a community of 6,000 people. That still feels a bit unreal. π
What makes me proud is not really the number. It is seeing people ask real questions, share their own scenarios, help each other out, and show up to the weekly calls.
So thank you to every single member. This community is what makes it special. π
And if you are learning Fabric, or just thinking about getting into it, you are very welcome to join. It is free to get started, and there is a lot of hands-on content and a great group of people inside.

Here is to the next milestone! π
