FMD Release Highlights October 2025

Fabric Meta DataDriven Framework – New Release Highlights

I’m  excited to announce a major update to the Fabric Meta DataDriven Framework! This release brings powerful new capabilities, improved automation, and enhanced governance features to help you scale your Fabric implementation with confidence and ease.

Whether you’re already running the framework or just getting started, make sure to download the latest Setup Notebook and apply the necessary configurations to take full advantage of the new features.

Domain & SubDomain Support

One of the most significant updates is the introduction of Domain and SubDomain support:

  • The Setup Notebook now automatically creates Domains and SubDomains.
  • All workspaces are assigned to the correct Domain structure.
  • To create Domains, ensure you have the Fabric Admin role before running the notebook.

Domain Contributor Role

As part of the Domain configuration:

  • The Domain Contributor role is now applied.
  • By default, this role is scoped to the Entire Organization.
  • Only users in the Domain Contributor security group can add or remove workspaces, ensuring tighter governance and control.

Workspace Icons – Now Automated!

Thanks to a great contribution from Peer, workspace icons are now automatically applied during setup. This small but impactful feature improves the visual organization and user experience across your Fabric environment.

⚡ Spark Optimizations for Bronze & Silver Layers

The latest Spark performance optimizations are now integrated into the Bronze and Silver layer notebooks. These enhancements align with recent announcements and ensure your data processing pipelines are faster and more efficient than ever.

Service Principal Support for Data Pipelines

We’ve added Service Principal support for Fabric Data Pipelines connections. This enables more secure and automated deployments. Be sure to check the updated documentation for configuration steps.

Updated Documentation

All documentation pages have been refreshed to reflect the latest features and improvements. Whether you’re configuring domains, setting up pipelines, or customizing icons, the docs have you covered.

Bug Fixes & Community Contributions

A big thank you to the community for reporting issues and submitting pull requests! This release includes several minor bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements based on your feedback.


Final Notes
