Azure Monitor Log Analytics has launched significant enhancements to Search Jobs , making large-scale data exploration faster, easier, and more efficient[1]. A Search Job runs asynchronous queries on large datasets in your Log Analytics workspace, including long-term retention data, splitting queries into smaller time-based segments processed in parallel for scalability over petabyte-scale data[1]. Key improvements include: A more intuitive and streamlined UI for quicker and simpler job setup. A cost estimation preview before running a job to help manage expenses. Removed limits that previously restricted result sizes and concurrency; now supporting up to 100 million records and allowing more parallel jobs. Lifted the date-range limit , so queries can cover any time span within the data retention period, with no upper bound[1]. Usage involves running a search job query in the Log Analytics workspace via the Azure portal, which creates a new "search results" tabl...

The Public Preview of Cosmos DB in Microsoft Fabric was announced in mid-2025, introducing significant new capabilities that integrate operational database workloads with Microsoft Fabric’s analytics ecosystem. Key Features and Capabilities Seamless Integration with OneLake via Automatic Mirroring Cosmos DB in Fabric automatically mirrors your operational NoSQL data to OneLake in near real-time, using the open-source Delta format. This replication is continuous—covering inserts, updates, and deletes—and requires no manual setup. It enables your OLTP data to be accessible for analytics, reporting, and data science workflows within the broader Fabric ecosystem. You can query this data with T-SQL, Spark, notebooks, and leverage Copilot-powered Power BI for real-time insights[1][3]. Advanced Vector and Full-Text Search The service supports efficient vector indexing and search, enabling similarity searches based on the semantic meaning of data through vector embeddings. It offers mu...
