Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is transforming how teams provision and manage digital infrastructure by replacing manual processes with automated, repeatable workflows defined in code. For data analytics teams, IaC delivers immense value: enabling rapid deployment, ensuring consistent environments, and scaling resources dynamically to meet evolving needs. By adopting IaC, organizations can reduce operational overhead, improve security, and accelerate time to insight—all while optimizing costs.

This session begins with an introduction to the foundational principles and benefits of IaC, featuring established tools and workflows such as Azure Resource Manager templates, Bicep, and Terraform. We will explore key lessons learned from applying IaC in other domains and demonstrate how these proven practices translate into Microsoft Fabric projects. Discover how IaC simplifies provisioning and managing essential Fabric resources such as workspaces, warehouses, data pipelines, notebooks, semantic models, and reports.

Whether you're new to IaC or looking to integrate it seamlessly into your Fabric workflows, this session will provide actionable insights and strategies to help you succeed. By the end, you’ll have the knowledge to leverage IaC methodologies alongside Fabric’s capabilities to unlock agility, enhance consistency, and drive maximum business value from your data initiatives.
