Microsoft Fabric Landing Zone Implementation

Download the Datasheet: Microsoft Fabric Landing Zone Implementation

Implementing a Microsoft Fabric Landing Zone is the critical first step to ensure your data platform is secure, scalable, and strategically aligned-before a single dataset is deployed.

OVERVIEW

Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one, AI-first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) data platform that unifies data movement, engineering, science, real-time analytics, and business intelligence into a single, seamless experience.

To fully realize the potential of Microsoft Fabric, organizations must begin with a well architected Landing Zone—a foundational blueprint that ensures scalable, secure, and governed adoption. This architectural starting point is essential for aligning deployment with enterprise standards and long-term strategic goals.

HIGHLIGHTS

Foundational Governance:
Establishes consistent standards for security, access control, and compliance across all data assets from day one.  
Scalable Architecture:
Enables structured growth through well- defined workspaces, business domains, tagging strategies, and capacity planning within OneLake.
Accelerated Adoption:
Reduces technical debt and streamlines onboarding by providing a ready-to-use framework for teams to build, manage, and collaborate efficiently.

AGENDA

By taking a design-first approach, teams can lay a strong foundation that supports collaboration, agility, and operational excellence. This approach transforms Microsoft Fabric from a powerful tool set into a strategic enabler of enterprise-wide, AI-driven data innovation.

Workstream 1: Plan & Architect Microsoft Fabric Landing Zone

We will define the architecture and governance model for a scalable Microsoft Fabric Zone. Activities:

Review Core Microsoft Fabric concepts, including OneLake workspaces, and domains.
Define a workspace and domain structure aligned to business functions and data ownership.
Establish governance strategies including tagging, access control, and cost management.
Plan capacity allocation and identify integrations needs (e.g., Purview, Entra ID, Power BI).
Document the Landing Zone blueprint for implementation.

Workstream 2: Build and Enable Microsoft Fabric Landing Zone

We will deploy and configure the Landing Zone inside Microsoft. Activities:

Create and configure workspaces, domains, and capacity assignments in the Fabric environment.
Apply role-based access and implement tagging for governance and reporting.
Showcase how users collaborate across workspaces, visualize data lineage and manage shared assets within Microsoft Fabric.
Validate the Landing Zone deployment against the blueprint and review operational best practices.
