You’ll learn how to: Understand the concepts of bursting and smoothing and how they work behind the scenes Avoid throttling and optimize your capacity consumption with best practices and tips Microsoft Fabric is a unified data platform that offers shared experiences, architecture, governance, compliance, and billing. Capacities provide the computing power that drives all of these experiences. They offer a simple and unified way to scale resources to meet customer demand and can be easily increased with a SKU upgrade. Bursting allows you to consume extra compute resources beyond what have been purchased to speed the execution of a workload. Smoothing offers relief for customers who create sudden spikes during their peak times, while they have a lot of idle capacity that is unused. Smoothing simplifies capacity management by spreading the evaluation of compute to ensure that customer jobs run smoothly and efficiently.
