Manage a workload in Fabric (preview)
This article describes how to upload and manage a workload to the Fabric service. Workloads enhance the usability of your service within a familiar workspace, eliminating the need to leave the Fabric environment. Fabric workloads increase user engagement and improve your application’s discoverability in the Fabric store. The Fabric workspace includes various components, known as Fabric items, which handle the storage, analysis, and presentation of your data.
Prerequisites
Before you can deploy a workload, you must have the following prerequisites:
- A Fabric account with the Admin permissions.
- The NuGet package workload solution that you want to deploy. For information about creating a workload solution, see QuickStart: Run a workload sample.
Note
When a DevGateway is connected to Fabric backend, the developer workload takes precedence over the workload activated in the tenant. If you try to create an item in a workspace associated with the same capacity as the one registered in the DevGateway configuration, Fabric backend calls your local workload instead of the activated one.
