Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Capacity Unit in Microsoft Fabric?
A Capacity Unit (CU) is a measure of the compute resources allocated to your Microsoft Fabric environment. It represents a bundle of processing power, memory, and other resources that enable your data analytics workloads to run.
How does Capacity Reservation differ from pay-as-you-go Fabric capacity?
Capacity Reservation guarantees a fixed amount of compute resources for a set period, ensuring consistent performance and predictable costs. Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility but performance can vary based on overall demand.
Can I change my reserved capacity later?
Capacity reservations are typically committed for a specific term. Changes to the reserved capacity may be possible depending on the terms of your agreement and Microsoft's policies, often requiring adjustments to your subscription.
