Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question
You are setting up a new workspace in Microsoft Fabric for a team of data scientists. The team often runs ad-hoc Spark notebooks that need more executors than the default configuration, but you want to avoid users selecting an oversized engine each time. In the Workspace settings pane you decide to change only one Spark-related setting so that, by default, all new interactive Spark sessions in the workspace start with 16 cores and 128 GB of memory, while still allowing users to choose a different size at run time if needed. Which workspace-level setting should you modify?
The default resources that an interactive Spark session receives in a Microsoft Fabric workspace are controlled by the Default engine size setting. Setting this value to Large (16 cores, 128 GB) makes every new notebook or interactive Spark job start on that size unless the user explicitly picks another size when they run the code. Other settings such as Session timeout, Enable custom libraries, or Max parallel sessions influence when sessions shut down, whether extra libraries can be installed, or how many sessions a user can run, but none of them determine the initial number of cores and memory an engine receives.
