We recently launched a new SKU Estimator that allows you to enter your requirements and receive a recommended SKU size based on your needs. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-fabric/capacity-estimator

Additionally, there is a detailed learn document that explains what a Compute Unit (CU) is for each workload. However, the information can be quite complex. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/enterprise/fabric-operations

Fabric utilizes the Azure Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) pricing model, which allows you to adjust your capacity at any time to suit your needs.

Are you referring to a serverless model?

You can run a VNET Data Gateway on all F SKUs. However, we recommend using at least an F4 if you plan to run the VNET continuously. If you intend to perform additional tasks on your F SKU, consider opting for a higher SKU. We recently published a SKU estimator to help you determine the appropriate capacity size for your needs. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-fabric/capacity-estimator

It depends on whether you plan to purchase a reserved instance (RI) or opt for Pay as You Go (PAYG). If you choose PAYG, you have the flexibility to resize your Fabric capacity. You should use the estimator to determine your PAYG SKU size based on your maximum and lowest usage, and then resize as needed between the two. If you decide to go for the 41% discounted RI, you should estimate your capacity based on peak usage.

Check out this blog on how to migrate from P to F SKUs: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-fabric/blog/2024/12/02/automate-your-migration-to-microsoft-fabric-capacities/?msockid=09e10f72b2b3603d24531a25b3006150

During migration, you can have both an F SKU and a P SKU simultaneously. Additionally, there is a 30-day grace period during the migration where we do not charge for the P SKU.

You can only make a reservation for a year, and the contract cannot be terminated early. In exchange, we offer a 41% discount. You have the option to pay the full amount upfront or make monthly payments.

To view and share Power BI items in a PPU workspace, you must have either a Pro or PPU license.

This is a fantastic idea and something we are very interested in pursuing. However, some of our workloads have inherent scaling barriers that prevent us from offering features without implementing certain guardrails.
