Hi @Lyndon1

Can you please specify more regarding your requirement? for e.g explain about your organisation, no of teams and whats the agenda?

Thanks

Only I will use Fabric in my Organisation. I use gen 2 mostly with minimal notebooks. I use the SQL endpoint to create my views and stuff. I need to know how much would it cost me a month to use Fabric?

Hi @Lyndon1 
You can start with F2 capacity and grow as you go.
In Microsoft Fabric, the F2 capacity refers to a specific SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) size. Each SKU in Azure ranges from F2 to F2048, with each F SKU providing a certain number of Capacity Units (CU) of compute power. Specifically, the F2 SKU provides 2 Capacity Units (CU) of compute power.

The size of the capacity determines the amount of computation power available. The F2 Capacity can generate reports fast within the first minute or so, presumably because bursting comes into play to let F2 borrow and recruit more CPU resources.

Moreover, the pay-as-you-go pricing for a Fabric capacity at US West 2 (a typical Azure region) is $0.18 per CU per hour which translates to a monthly price of $262.8 for an F2 ($0.18 * 2 * 730 hours).

These capacities are used to provide the compute resources for all the experiences in Fabric – from the Data Factory to ingest and transform to Data Engineering, Data Science, Data Warehouse, Real-Time Analytics and all the way to Power BI for data visualization4. A single capacity can power all workloads concurrently and does not need to be pre-allocated across the workloads.
