Capacity units trip up almost everyone moving into Fabric, because a CU measures compute, not seats. Here’s how CUs and the F-SKU ladder work, how bursting and smoothing absorb the spikes, and when reserved capacity beats pay-as-you-go.

Excited about Fabric isn’t the same as ready for it. Here’s a simple way to size up where your admins, engineers, analysts, and business users each stand — and turn the gaps you find into a focused training plan instead of a report card.
