You need to recommend which type of Fabric capacity SKU meets the data analytics requirements for the Research division.

Requirement: “The Research division workspaces must use a dedicated, on-demand capacity that has per-minute billing.”

Fabric capacity SKUs:

F (Fabric) = dedicated Fabric capacity, available on pay-as-you-go with per-minute billing.

P (Premium) and EM are Power BI capacities (not Fabric-native).

A refers to Azure Analysis Services capacity.

The only correct option is F SKU .

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

From the case study:

Research division data for Productline2 is currently in CSV format in storage2.

Requirement: “All the Research division data in the lakehouses must be presented as managed tables in Lakehouse explorer.”

In Fabric lakehouses, managed tables are stored in Delta format inside the Tables folder.

Step 1: Reading the source

df = spark.read. format ( " csv " ) \

options(header= " true " , inferSchema= " true " ) \

load( " abfss://storage1.dfs.core.windows.net/files/productline2 " )

This correctly ingests the CSV source from ADLS Gen2.

Step 2: Writing to Lakehouse as a managed table

You must write the data in Delta format to ensure it is queryable and managed within the lakehouse.

The correct path is under Tables/ , because this is where Fabric automatically manages Lakehouse managed tables .

The target table should be named productline2 , so the correct path is:

df.write.mode( " overwrite " ). format ( " delta " ).save( " Tables/productline2 " )

Why not other options?

CSV or Parquet formats would not create a managed Lakehouse table; they would just create files.

Writing to productline2 directly (without Tables/ ) would store unmanaged files in the Lakehouse Files area, not managed tables.

Writing to Tables/research/productline2 adds an unnecessary subdirectory and is not the standard structure for managed tables.

Correct Final Code

df.write.mode( " overwrite " ). format ( " delta " ).save( " Tables/productline2 " )

Requirement: “The number of rows added to the Orders table during refreshes must be minimized.”

The Orders table has a sequential OrderID .

To minimize refresh size, you must only import new rows , not the entire table.

This requires retrieving the maximum OrderID currently loaded, then only loading rows with a greater OrderID.

So, the correct solution is to use a pipeline (ADF) with a dataflow to retrieve the maximum OrderID .

Answer: C. an Azure Data Factory pipeline that executes a dataflow to retrieve the maximum value of the OrderID column in the destination lakehouse

The df.explain() method does not meet the goal of evaluating data to calculate statistical functions. It is used to display the physical plan that Spark will execute. References = The correct usage of the explain() function can be found in the PySpark documentation.

The PoC is planned to be completed using a Fabric trial capacity, which implies that users involved in the PoC should be able to try paid features. However, this should be limited to specific security groups involved in the PoC to prevent the entire organization from accessing these features before the trial is proven successful (A). The ability for users to create Fabric items should also be enabled for specific security groups to ensure that only the relevant team members participating in the PoC can create items in the Fabric environment (E).

In Azure DevOps workspace (project) security settings, role assignments determine access levels for groups:

Viewer (equivalent to the Readers security group): Grants read-only access to work items, code, pipelines, and other artifacts. Ideal for review-only scenarios where users need to view but not edit content.

Contributor (equivalent to the Contributors security group): Allows full edit and contribute privileges, such as updating work items, code reviews, and pipeline runs. Suitable for active participation in reviews that may involve feedback or changes.

Based on the group names implying review-focused access, Viewer fits Group1 for passive observation, while Contributor fits Group2 for interactive review tasks. These align with default Azure DevOps permissions for secure, least-privilege access.

You need to ensure that Contoso can use version control to meet the data analytics requirements and the general requirements.

Requirement: “All the semantic models and reports for the Research division must use version control that supports branching.”

Fabric supports Git integration (Azure Repos or GitHub) for semantic models and reports.

Storing in Data Lake Gen2 or OneDrive does not provide version control with branching.

The correct action is to integrate workspaces with a Git repository.

Answer: D. Modify the settings of the Research division workspaces to use an Azure Repos repository.

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

The requirement is to logically group the Research division workspaces and support filtering in the OneLake data hub .

Why Domain ?

Microsoft Fabric allows you to assign workspace domains (e.g., Finance, HR, Research).

This provides a logical grouping of workspaces within the organization.

Domains are the only supported way to enable filtering in OneLake data hub by department .

Capacity or tenant grouping would not allow filtering by department in OneLake.

Why OneLake data hub ?

The OneLake data hub is the centralized interface to browse and discover data assets across the organization.

With workspace domains configured, users can filter directly in the OneLake data hub by domain (e.g., “Research”).

The Fabric Admin portal and Entra admin center are used for administration, not for workspace filtering in data discovery.

Correct Selection for the Hotspot

Grouping method: Domain

Tool: OneLake data hub

Final Answer:

Grouping method = Domain

Tool = OneLake data hub
