Which Fabric capacity SKU is appropriate for a dedicated, on-demand capacity with per-minute billing for specialized analytics work?

• A. A
• B. EM
• C. P
• D. F

Answer: (D)

The key idea is matching a capacity option to workloads that need dedicated resources, can be provisioned on demand, and billed with per-minute granularity. This combination lets specialized analytics work run on isolated hardware when needed, and you only pay for the exact minutes of usage.

Why this fits: Dedicated capacity means the analytics tasks have consistent performance without sharing resources with others, which is important for resource-intensive analytics. On-demand provisioning lets you spin up capacity exactly when a project starts and release it when it finishes, avoiding idle capacity. Per-minute billing gives the finest cost control, so you’re charged only for the actual minutes those analytics tasks run. Put together, this SKU is ideal for short, intensive analytics work that requires reliable performance but doesn't run continuously.

Other SKUs typically cover different scenarios—shared capacity, longer-term reservations, or different billing models. They either don’t offer true isolation, aren’t on-demand, or don’t bill per minute, so they don’t align as well with the needs of specialized analytics work that you want to run only as needed.
