What's up with Dataflow Gen2 and Dataflow Gen2 (CI/CD, Preview) being separate?

Looking at this very recent article - Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD and Git integration - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn - I see that Dataflows Gen2 can now be made source control enabled.

 

However, I don't see this pop-up menu at all when I create a new Dataflow Gen2. Furthermore, it appears that there's now a new Dataflow Gen2 (CI/CD, Preview). This is not only behind the Fabric Capacity paywall, but doesn't even allow me to use it with a Fabric Trial capacity. We're locked into a 3 year contract for Premium Capacity, which has had feature parity with Fabric until very recently. What gives, Microsoft? 

We have been awaiting improvements to Dataflows Gen2 for over a year only to have all the improvements shoved into a new activity that's behind another paywall? I really hope that this was done in error.

    Hi dzav ,

     

    The separation of Dataflow Gen2 and Dataflow Gen2 (CI/CD, Preview) is supposedly because the CI/CD and Git integration features are still in beta, so they are not yet fully integrated into the standard release.

     

    These features will soon be much easier to use, so please be patient.

  • I found this limitation from Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD and Git integration - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

     

    • When you create a new item in your workspace, it might show the item "Dataflow Gen2 (CI/CD, preview)". Ignore this one and follow instructions described in this article. It may take some time until your region shows the checkbox for enabling the CI/CD and Git support.

     

    and a new known issue: Known issue - New tile for Dataflow Gen2 (CI/CD, preview) isn't yet supported - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

     

    It seems the tile "Dataflow Gen2 (CI/CD, preview)" is not ready and we should use Dataflow Gen2. However Dataflow Gen2 with the checkbox hasn't been deployed to all regions. I don't have that.

        Anonymous We are on an F4 and I was able to create one!

         

        Always a good question, it seems like some of the best features are saved for companies who have the pockets to pay for F64 and above... But that doesn't seem to be the case for this one!
