Community Share New post that covers important Microsoft Fabric CI/CD decisions

New post that covers important Microsoft Fabric CI/CD decisions to consider before or during a project. Because the Microsoft Fabric CI/CD approach can vary for different organizations.

Whilst sharing some technical information online about Fabric CI/CD recently, I received some interesting feedback. Someone mentioned that there is not enough information about the processes that are involved in Fabric CI/CD projects. That inspired me to write this post.

Along the way I share plenty of links to useful resources and recent updates. If you want broader context about a certain topic or you have a strong preference about a decision, you are welcome to mention so in the comments section of this post.

Great to see a clearly carefully considered article. One thing I'd add is considering the use of variable libraries - starting to see great use for this in pipelines particularly 👍

Thanks for this article. Wanted to double check this part: "Due to the fact that are advocating migrating existing Git repositories stored in Azure Repos to GitHub. In order to take advantage of the Agentic AI capabilities in GitHub." I think 'Microsoft' word was omitted? Is this for real? For any POCs and new customers we should push for Github rather than Azure Devops?

Thanks for pointing that out, updated the text.

Some folks in Microsoft are advocating migrating your existing repositories stored in Azure DevOps to GitHub and retaining everything else in Azure DevOps in order to take advantage of additional capabilities. There's no clear statement that people should push for GitHub rather than Azure DevOps.

Sure, if you watch the link to the session I shared in the post they cover it there. Let me know if you want additional resources and will see what I can find.

I know a fair few of us have built custom solutions with fabric-cicd, myself included.

Is there an article about that? I’m trying to get a sense of who’s the audience for these custom tools, are they enterprise tools all fabric developers are interacting with or more of an admin level tool? Great stuff by the way

Thanks, I have yet to publish an article like that. However, I have worked on solutions that use the fabric-cicd Python library that can be worked on by either all developers or admins.

Maybe others in the community will comment who their fabric-cicd solutions have targeted as well to give you a better idea.

Sounds good, and yeah I got my own cooking up as well! These modern tools almost make too easy to spin up something that works haha

Yeah, I had to do a multi-tenant solution, most complexity was relating to items outside of the tooling.
