Creating a Lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric

This tutorial provides a quick overview of how to create a Lakehouse within Microsoft Fabric.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Navigate to Your Workspace:
   • Open your Microsoft Fabric workspace where you want to create the Lakehouse.
2. Create a New Lakehouse:
   • Click the ”+ New Item” button located in the workspace toolbar.

   

   • A pane will appear on the right side of the screen.
   • In the search bar, type “Lakehouse” and select it from the results.

   

3. Name and Create the Lakehouse:
   • Provide a descriptive name for your Lakehouse.
   • Naming Convention: It’s highly recommended to establish a naming convention for your organization. Consider using prefixes or suffixes like “lh-“ or “-lh” to easily identify Lakehouses within your workspace as the number of items grows.

   

   • Click the “Create” button.
   • Wait a few seconds for the Lakehouse to be provisioned and ready for use.

   

Note: After creating the Lakehouse, you’ll find three associated items within your workspace:

1. Lakehouse: The core Lakehouse storage and management component.
2. Semantic model: A model for analyzing the data within the Lakehouse.
3. SQL analytic endpoint: An endpoint for querying the Lakehouse data using SQL.

We will delve deeper into these three items in future blogs.
