One container, unlimited scope
A single container can scan an unlimited number of workspaces, Lakehouses, Warehouses, and tables (anything the service principal can access). No per-table or per-workspace meter on the software fee.
Pricing
Marketplace-simple. Enterprise-observability alternative.
Flat-rate Azure Marketplace software offer for Fabric-only data reliability — without a six-figure observability contract.
$49 / container / month
Software license for the OneLake Guard offer. Does not include Azure infrastructure cost (ACI / compute / networking) — that stays on your Azure subscription.
Infra is separate — and mostly optional runtime
The $49 fee is the product license only. Azure container cost is billed by Azure. You can stop / deallocate the container outside scan windows and keep Marketplace licensing — typically saving about 90% of infra cost versus leaving ACI running 24/7.
What the $49 covers
Continuous trust signals for OneLake Delta tables, Direct Lake–aware table health, ops Lakehouse output, and the bundled Power BI report — without Spark notebooks for analysis.
Same job as enterprise data observability — narrower surface, Marketplace price, native Fabric UX.
Value vs alternatives
What makes the price make sense
Cheap. Zero-config. Fabric-only. Direct Lake aware. No Spark notebooks for analysis. No enterprise observability budget.
| Dimension | OneLake Guard | Enterprise observability | Fabric built-ins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Data reliability + table health for OneLake | Cross-platform reliability at scale | Ad-hoc health check & maintenance |
| Setup | Zero-config detectors | Onboarding + monitors + contracts | Per-table / pipeline wiring |
| Compute model | _delta_log + light scan | Warehouse SQL / agents | T-SQL health + Spark OPTIMIZE/VACUUM |
| UX | Output Lakehouse + Direct Lake PBI | Vendor UI | Portal / Monitoring Hub |
| Price signal | $49 / container / month (+ optional ACI only while scanning) | Typically five-figure+ / year | Included (+ CU for maintenance) |
Included in the offer
Data reliability, observability, trust signals, anomaly detection, and operational governance for Fabric OneLake Delta tables.
Not in scope
Enterprise catalog, business glossary, MDM, access policies, or full cross-platform lineage — that remains Purview and catalog platforms. Azure infra is outside the $49 software fee; stop the container between scans to cut ~90% of that infra spend.
