Episode 286: Data Governance and Security In Microsoft Fabric

SQL Data Partners Podcast

In this episode of the SQL Data Partners Podcast, host Carlos L. Chacón is joined by Kevin Feasel and Eugene Meidinger for a deep dive into data governance and security within Microsoft Fabric. As part of Season 8's focus on Fabric, the trio explores how governance tools and practices are evolving with Microsoft's platform, including the use of domains, Purview integration, and the challenges that arise from pricing and tool fragmentation.

With their usual banter and insights, the hosts lay out foundational concepts around organizational data governance and highlight some key components Fabric offers out-of-the-box. They also candidly discuss gaps between marketing promises and real-world implementation—especially around documentation and administration. Whether you're building out your governance framework or trying to decipher where Purview fits in, this episode brings clarity and context with plenty of humor along the way.
