Data Architect - MS Fabric & Azure Services - OneLake - SaaS - 12M FTC Hybrid

In a data architect context, Microsoft Fabric is a unified, cloud-based data analytics platform that combines data engineering, data integration, data warehousing, data science, Real Time analytics, and Business Intelligence into a single Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering.

Rather than stitching together multiple separate Azure services, Fabric provides a single environment with shared storage, security, governance, and user experience.

Core concepts

OneLake

The foundation of Fabric is OneLake, which is Microsoft's "OneDrive for data."

It provides:

A single logical data lake for the entire organization

Open storage format (Delta Parquet)

Elimination of unnecessary data copies

Shared access across different workloads

Think of OneLake as the central repository where all analytical data lives.
