🎯 The Problem: Someone overwrote the production report. Again. No one knows what changed. There's no way to roll back. Manual deployments at 11 PM on Friday - because that's when "no one is using the system."
💡 This Evening: We'll bring professional DevOps to Fabric. Git integration, deployment pipelines, variable libraries - the practices that make BI enterprise-ready.
⏱️ Save yourself: The 3 AM "we broke production" calls. Proper CI/CD means confident deployments, every time.
What you'll learn:
🏷️ Sensitivity Labels \- Data classification and protection\, and WHY labels flow with the data\, not the container \(data stays protected when copied\)
🔐 Microsoft Purview \- Unified governance across Azure and Fabric\, and WHY Purview is the governance control plane \(one place for all policies\)
📂 Git Integration \- Source control for Fabric items\, and WHY Git enables collaboration and rollback \(version history for everything\!\)
🚀 Deployment Pipelines \- Dev → Test → Prod promotion\, and WHY pipelines beat manual deployments \(one click\, no errors\)
📋 Variable Libraries \- Environment\-specific configurations\, and WHY hardcoded values kill maintainability \(connection strings\, paths\)
DevOps Flow: Developer → Git Commit → PR Review → Merge → Deployment Pipeline → DEV → TEST → PROD (each with its own Variables)
Who should attend: Developers adopting DevOps for BI, Platform teams building CI/CD, Security teams implementing governance
