Please do a video on cost consumption for fabric

Hi Amit, I need to use the copilot in my workspaces. However, the cost for F64 is too high to pay. Is there any other option or way around?

[@AmitChandak]

I doubt that. Seem like Min P1 or F64 is required for copilot.

can i purchase microsoft fabric capacity from azure portal with CSP subscription under NCE

[@AmitChandak]

As far as I know, yes, you can buy from CSP. But you need to give GDAP permission. There is still some debate on what permissions to give, but you can roll back some of the permissions after the capacity is allocated.

@@AmitChandak I have a free trial fabric account and the trial is getting expired next week, I am looking for a solution where I can move the trial account to fabric capacity. So you mean that with a CSP (NCE) subscription I can achieve this. And this switch will be seamless without any data loss.

cost for F64 capacity is $8409, this estimated cost per month or we need to pay first and use it? How?

[@AmitChandak]

If you use Pay-as-You-Go for a full month non-stop, you will end up paying a $8409. When you need to run capacity 24/7, it is advisable to go for a reserved instance to save costs.
