Publishing requirements for Microsoft Fabric workloads

Important

This section applies ONLY to cross-tenant publishing (Workload Hub distribution). Organizations publishing workloads for internal tenant use do not need to meet these requirements.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of all requirements for publishing workloads to Microsoft Fabric, including workload registration, item requirements, attestation documentation, and validation tools.

Prerequisites

Before you can publish your workload to the Workload Hub, you must meet these fundamental requirements:

Workload ID Registration

Every workload requires a unique Workload ID that follows the format [Publisher].[Workload] (for example, Contoso.SalesInsights).

  • Registration Process: Complete workload registration at https://aka.ms/fabric_workload_registration
  • Approval Required: Your Workload ID must be approved before publishing
  • Fixed Value: Once registered and approved, the Workload ID cannot be changed
  • Manifest Configuration: Set the approved Workload ID in your workload manifest

For detailed information about workload ID requirements and the registration process, see Publish your workload.

Microsoft Entra App Verification

All workloads must use a verified Microsoft Entra application for authentication and API access.

  • Verification Required: Your Entra application must complete the Microsoft verification process
  • Publisher Verification: Applications must have verified publisher status
  • Compliance Standards: Verified apps meet Microsoft's security and compliance requirements
  • Publishing Prerequisite: App verification must be completed before workload publishing

For detailed information about the verification process and requirements, see Microsoft Entra verified publisher documentation.

Attestation Documentation

All workloads must provide attestation documentation that certifies compliance with Microsoft Fabric standards.

Attestation Requirements

Required in Manifest: Your workload manifest must include the AttestationUrl property pointing to your published attestation document.

Validation Tools

Microsoft Fabric provides validation tools to help partners ensure their workloads meet publishing requirements before submission.

Publishing Validation Tool

Use the official validation tool to check your workload against publishing requirements:

🔧 How to validate your workload for publishing

The validation tool provides:

  • Automated Checks: Scans your workload for common compliance issues
  • Requirement Coverage: Validates against both workload and item requirements
  • Detailed Reports: Provides specific feedback on areas that need attention
  • Pre-Submission Validation: Catch issues before submitting for review

Validation Process

  1. Complete Development: Ensure your workload is feature-complete
  2. Run Validation Tool: Use the publishing validation tool to identify issues
  3. Address Findings: Fix any compliance gaps identified by the tool
  4. Re-validate: Run the tool again to confirm all issues are resolved
  5. Submit for Review: Proceed with the publishing request form

Publishing Process Overview

Once you meet all requirements, follow this process:

  1. Workload ID Registration: Complete registration and receive approval
  2. Requirements Compliance: Meet all workload and item requirements
  3. Attestation Documentation: Create and publish your attestation document
  4. Validation: Use validation tools to verify compliance
