Any ideas on why Workspace Identity/Virtual Network Features aren't being allowed on Premium P1 SKU?

Greetings, community. My org has a Power BI Premium P1 SKU capacity with Fabric F64 capacity units included. I want to add a Workspace Identity (feature doc) so my pipelines can securely access Azure storage containers. We are able to create Fabric items just fine, but when I try to enable the new workspace identity and virtual network features, I get this error:

 

For reference, here is the workspace, which is assigned to that same P1 SKU:

 

 

As per a Microsoft announcement (blog post), F64 was added to PBI P1 SKUs, so this should be working.

 

 

Any ideas?

    Hi arpost ,

    We have a response from internal team -

    These functionalities require an ARM resource, which a P-SKU is not.
    Given the announced deprecation of P-SKUs, the decision was made to not invest in workarounds for a temporary solution.


    Hope this is helpful. Please let me know incase of further queries.

        Appreciate the transparency of the reply. It is a bit frustrating as this basically means there's no way in Fabric to securely access sensitive resources with a paid Premium plan for the duration of that subscription. Orgs will either be unable to adopt Fabric OR will have to come up with workarounds to try to facilitate secure access.
