Microsoft Fabric (DP-601) Training FAQs

Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end analytics solution with full-service capabilities including data movement, data lakes, data engineering, data integration, data science, real-time analytics, and business intelligence—all backed by a shared platform providing robust data security, governance, and compliance.

A lakehouse is a collection of files, folders, and tables that represent a database over a data lake used by the Apache Spark engine and SQL engine for big data processing. A lakehouse includes enhanced capabilities for ACID transactions when using the open-source Delta formatted tables.

The lakehouse item is hosted within a unique workspace folder in Microsoft OneLake. It contains files in various formats (structured and unstructured) organised in folders and subfolders.

The data lake is the foundation on which all the Fabric services are built. Microsoft Fabric Lake is also known as OneLake. It's built into the Fabric service and provides a unified location to store all organisational data where the experiences operate.
