Direct Lake Semantic models Deployment
What’s the recommended approach to automate the promotion or deployment of Direct lake semantic models—along with its associated objects such as reports and datasets—to UAT and Production workspaces, ensuring that the Lakehouse connection strings and SQL analytics endpoint references are correctly updated for each environment?
Hi a231087 ,
I always use the CI/CD option and it works.
If I need the report as an example and the Direct Lake Model in a new workspace, I deploy it to the new workspace.Then I change the connections either via the Fabric CLI or via Semantic Link Labs.
The links suparnababu8 shared in his post are wonderful ways to put this into practice.
Best regards.

Hello a231087
You can consider following below approches
- you can go with Fabric CI/CD with fabric CLI option. But after deploying the direct lake sematic models it is refeerencing the original workspace SQL analytics end poiunt an dreferences. So you need toi update both SQL analytics end point and database references by using Fabirc CLI comamnds. Kindly read this blog Deploy a working Direct Lake semantic model with fabric-cicd and Fabric CLI - K Chant
- Second option is Sematic link labs using fabric Notebooks. Kindly go through this blog Programmatically deploy Semantic Models and Report... - Microsoft Fabric Community
Hope it helps you.
Thank you!!

Hi a231087,
You cna use Deployment Pipelines and their Rules to move the models to other workspaces, and to relink the data sources: Create deployment rules for Fabric's ALM - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
