DP-700 Question #121: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You have the development groups shown in the following table. Name | Skillset --- | --- Group1 | Azure Stream Analytics with Azure Event Hubs Group2 | Microsoft Power BI Group3 | R language You have the projects shown in the following table. Name | Development group | Requirement --- | --- | --- Project1 | Group1 | Move data between source and sink environments. Project2 | Group2 | Transform data by using a low-code approach. Project3 | Group3 | Transform data. You need to recommend which Fabric item to use based on each development group's skillset. The solution must meet the project requirements and minimize development effort. What should you recommend for each group? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Microsoft Fabric's workload items and how they map to existing developer skillsets. The goal is to minimize retraining by selecting Fabric items that are natural extensions of each group's existing expertise.

Approach. Group1 (Azure Stream Analytics + Event Hubs) → Eventstream: Fabric's Eventstream is the direct evolution of Azure Stream Analytics integrated with Event Hubs, enabling real-time data movement between sources and sinks with minimal skill gap. Group2 (Power BI) → Dataflow Gen2: Dataflow Gen2 uses Power Query - the same low-code, visual transformation engine embedded in Power BI - making it the natural low-code choice for Power BI-skilled developers. Group3 (R language) → Notebook: Fabric Notebooks support R natively (via SparkR/sparklyr), making them the correct item for R developers who need to write code-based data transformations without switching languages.

Concept tested. Microsoft Fabric item selection based on developer skillset alignment and project requirements - specifically mapping Eventstream (real-time pipelines), Dataflow Gen2 (low-code Power Query transformation), and Notebooks (code-first transformation supporting Python/R/Scala) to their closest real-world skill equivalents to minimize development effort.
