In this episode, Kellyn Gorman talks about the challenges of getting data out of legacy systems (i.e. relational data bases) into Fabric. She explains that whoever hosts the data wins. She talks about often content talks about the golden path or focuses on the marketing content, but it's much rarer to see content that deals with the difficult edge cases.

We talk about how despite being Software as a Service, in order to learn Fabric you will need to learn networking, authentication, and infrastructure more broadly. We talk about how it's impossible to completely get away from hardware and infrastructure.
