Lakehouse deployment pipeline is creating an empty lakehouse

When deploying a lakehouse using deployment pipelines, an empty lakehouse with the same name is deployed in the destination workspace. Is there an ETA to change this behauviour?

Hi @ManuMas ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community.

Right now, the Lake houses are created empty. We are working on improving that and getting the definition of the lakehouse to be exported and deployed. It will come in pieces so it will take time until the full definition will become available. At present we don't have any ETA.


If you are looking for methods to generate those items, what we recommend to do with current options:

 

  • use data pipelines and notebooks to build the Lakehouse as much as possible. Since they are source controlled and deployed with their definition, you can manage the Lakehouse content and changes by deploying the data pipeline/notebook and running it to apply the changes into the Lakehouse.
  • For things that can't be managed through data pipeline/notebook, it will still need to happen manually. It needs to be configured once and then it will not be overridden in later deployments. For example- the shortcut to the bronze LH.
