Hi,
We have a scenario where we publish our customer’s ERP data in MS D365 Finance & Operations to Azure,
and then publish some of the ERP data in Azure to Power BI Desktop.
My question is: how much capacity is assigned to storage, CPU and memory respectively in Azure?
(What if the customer had 1TB transactional data, but they couldn’t process the data because only 50GB is offered in Power BI?)
Thanks in advance.

firstly it depends on how you are doing this..
assuming you are using imported mode then it would be to understand how you are modelling this data. Power BI in imported more should compress the data quite a bit, so depending on how many unique values you have in the data will define how much compression you get. The more repeat values you have the more compression.
when you say published to azure, what are you referring too. This is a power bi forum therefore understanding what is relevant in azure, this might not be the correct place to ask.. I think you will need to give more information.
Licensing is also relevant, pro vs premium.
