Evolving the ADF to Fabric migration experience

Hi team,

When working with Azure Data Factory and moving into Microsoft Fabric, the new “migration” experience is a really interesting step forward. It helps bring both worlds closer and makes the transition smoother.

After trying it out, I’ve seen that it opens up a lot of possibilities, and it’s great to see that we can also propose ideas to continue improving it.

In this context, I’ve shared an idea that I believe could bring even more value.

Right now, the experience allows you to connect and integrate existing ADF assets into Fabric, which is very helpful to start working within the ecosystem. As a next step, it could be interesting to move towards a deeper integration where:

  • Assets are fully integrated into Fabric
  • They are executed from Fabric
  • And their consumption can be associated with Fabric capacity

Additionally, it could be valuable to give customers the flexibility to choose where the cost is allocated (Fabric or Azure), enabling a more gradual adoption.

This is a small evolution on top of what already exists, but it could make a big difference in how the experience aligns with different adoption scenarios.

If this idea resonates with you, you can vote for it here:  https://lnkd.in/ejT9QSRj

And if you find it useful, I would really appreciate your support with a like on the comment and voting for the idea.

This helps increase visibility and gives it a better chance to evolve.

Hi @arabalca,

 

That’s a great perspective, thank you for sharing it.

The current ADF to Fabric migration experience is already a positive step, helping teams transition more smoothly. Your suggestion for deeper integration—such as executing assets directly from Fabric and aligning consumption with Fabric capacity, is very logical.

Additionally, offering flexibility in cost allocation between Azure and Fabric is practical, especially for organizations gradually adopting Fabric.

I appreciate you sharing this idea with the community, and I’ve supported it.

Thank you.
