Fabric Capacity

Hi mikebi ,

Fabric Capacity is a shared pool of compute that powers all capabilities in Microsoft Fabric, from data modeling and data warehousing to business intelligence and AI experiences. It is used to simplify purchasing with a single pool of compute for every workload, and to use the same set of Capacity Units (CUs) wherever you have the need without pre-allocating capacity. All CUs are pooled and are not locked in an idle workload to reduce costs.

If you are using your Azure Subscription, Power BI Premium License and Office 365 instance for learning and certification purposes, you may not need to purchase Fabric Capacity. However, if you are planning to use Microsoft Fabric for production workloads, you may need to purchase Fabric Capacity to ensure that you have sufficient compute resources to meet your needs.
