When Fabric pipelines became generally available, there was not a good way to parameterize them to change connections at runtime. This made deployment processes more complicated, since you couldn’t just set up values for each environment (e.g., dev, test, prod). It also made reusing pipelines with different connections more difficult. But new features released in 2025 have made parameterizing connections much easier in Fabric pipelines. In this quick session, you’ll see how to configure pipelines to use variables to enable these common scenarios.

You will learn:

  • About Fabric Workspace variables
  • Identify the pre-reqs for changing connections in a pipeline
  • Understand how the connection parameterization affects logging and lineage
