Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about fsku.io and Microsoft Fabric cost management.
Our Pro tier allows you to deploy the FinOps scanner directly within your own VNet. We never extract raw data out of your environment. We only ingest aggregated metadata and cost telemetry necessary for analysis, ensuring your sensitive Fabric artifacts remain secure and compliant.
Fabric natively retains detailed telemetry for only 14 days. Our platform seamlessly connects to your Log Analytics workspace or Storage Account, continuously exporting and aggregating data to build a long-term historical baseline. This enables year-over-year cost comparisons and accurate seasonal forecasting without manual intervention.
Microsoft Fabric bills based on Capacity Units (CUs). However, short-running jobs or specific engine types are subject to minimum billing durations (rounding logic). Our scanner identifies these inefficiencies, highlighting workloads where you are paying for unused capacity due to rounding, and suggests batching strategies to optimize spend.
Available in the Enterprise tier, Active Orchestration allows the platform to automatically pause, resume, or scale your Fabric capacities based on schedules or usage thresholds, directly interfacing with the Azure Management API via SPN. This moves beyond alerting to automated cost remediation.
