Microsoft Fabric simplicity
Microsoft Fabric is a unified product for all your data and analytics workloads. Rather than provisioning and
managing separate compute for each workload, with Microsoft Fabric, your bill is determined by two
variables: the amount of compute you provision and the amount of storage you use.

How it works

Capacity units (CUs) = Compute power

Capacity units (CUs) are units of measure that represent a pool of compute power needed. Compute power
is required to run queries, jobs, or tasks.

CU Consumption
The CU consumption is highly correlated to the underlying compute effort needed for the tasks performed by the
capability during the processing time.

Each capability, such as Power BI, Spark, Data Warehouse, with the associated queries, jobs, or tasks has a unique
consumption rate.
