Power BI Advanced with Embedding — Lesson 4: Capacity, Performance, and Production Operations

Learning Objectives

• Evaluate capacity sizing, throttling, caching, and concurrency
• Monitor embedded usage, API failures, token issues, and rendering performance
• Establish deployment, support, logging, security, and recovery procedures

Detailed Topics

• Evaluate capacity sizing: Evaluate capacity sizing, throttling, caching, and concurrency
• Monitor embedded usage: Monitor embedded usage, API failures, token issues, and rendering performance
• Establish deployment: Establish deployment, support, logging, security, and recovery procedures

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, environment, dependencies, roles, risks, and expected outcome.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, analysis, code, or administration workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, or test evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with the stated acceptance criteria.

Hands-On Activity

Review an embedded analytics solution and create a production-hardening plan.

• Document assumptions and the planned sequence before making changes.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal and exception behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, and reusable operational or development notes.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, permissions, data, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, support ownership, and user or business impact.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected configuration, design, query, code, or process is documented.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Capacity, Performance, and Production Operations in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
