They should have audio of the fabric being moved on listings selling fabric online since we can't feel it. You can tell a lot about a fabric by the sound of it moving, including but not limited to, the actual thickness of the material and the quality of fibers.
It also tells you if its straight up plastic in a 'this is a natural fabric' trenchcoat and is as loud as 50 plastic bags filled with plastic bottles being crushed with a trumpet.
If you live in Connecticut and you need fabric, go to Affordable Fabrics. Aside from trim and outdoor fabrics, all of their fabrics are 2.99 a yard. I got 5 yards of silk taffeta for 15 dollars. It is amazing
A beginner’s guide to choosing and working with fabrics for cosplay
Choosing the right kind of fabric and treating it right when sewing can greatly improve the finished look of your cosplay. Here are a few tips on how to decide what fabrics to buy and how to treat and work with it when making your cosplay.
Deciding what fabric to pick
So you have picked a character and decided to make the cosplay yourself and are now ready to buy fabric for it.
The first thing you need to do is to find a couple of good reference picture of your character from different angles and see how many different fabrics you will need.
The next step is to try to decide what kind of fabric you will need, this step can be really tricky if you don't have any previous experience with fabrics.
A good way to start figuring it out is to think about what qualities you want the fabric to have. Is the character wearing a formfit catsuit? Then the fabric should be stretchy like a four-way stretch spandex or a lycra. Is the character wearing a corset? Then the fabric should be stiff and a bit thicker. Is the character wearing a light and airy skirt? etc etc Write up the qualities you want the different fabrics in your cosplay to have and start doing some research.
Look at what kind of fabrics other people used in a similar garment or what recommendations the sewing patterns of the similar clothes say.
Another tip is to think what kind of person your character is. Is it a princess? Then maybe the fabric she would wear would be a bit more expensive looking and not just a simple cotton. Is it a hobbit? Then maybe the fabric should be natural and not synthetic.
Difference between Synthetic and Natural fabrics:
There is a lot of different kind of fabrics but they all fall under two main types; Synthetic and natural fabrics.
Natural fabrics are made from either the fibers of plants or animals (wool, hair etc). Examples are: Cotton, linen, silk, wool etc.
Synthetic fabrics are made from fibers made in scientific way and are produced from chemicals. Examples are: Polyester, Nylon, Spandex, acrylic etc.
Blend fabrics is as it sounds a mix of the both fibers to create a textile that has properties from both fibers.
Buying fabrics in store vs online:
If you have access to a fabric store that sells more than just curtain fabrics then it's a great opportunity to get to know how different fabrics feels and works. Don't be afraid to take help of the employees of the store and ask what kind of fabric would work for the garment. Bring a photo of your character so you can check how the color looks and if you already have a piece of your cosplay ready and you need a fabric in a similar color take a sample with you so you can check so it match.
I highly recommend bringing a camera (or your phone) to the store and take photos of the fabric you are thinking of buying. Most fabric looks different with a flash and can get really shiny or change color. Since you probably want photos of your finished cosplay it is important to check so the fabric looks good both on and off camera.
This is for example photos of the same fabric taken in different lights:
If you don't have a fabric store close to you or could not find the fabric you were looking for, buying fabrics online is a great second option. Buying fabrics online can be hard since you don't have the opportunity to touch it, feel it and see how it flows, it can also be hard to see the exact color of it. I therefore recommend that you order some fabric samples of the fabric you are interested in before buying several yards of it. Fabric samples are often not very expensive and it is a great way to get to see how it looks and feel before deciding.
A tip is to save the fabric samples or cut out a piece of your fabric and write on a note what kind of fabric it is and where you bought it and then save it in a folder. This makes it really easy to later when you are going to make another cosplay to just check the folder and see if any of those fabrics would work for that cosplay.
Be aware of shiny and cheap looking fabrics!
Some shiny fabrics will look extra shiny when photographed and shiny fabrics have a tendency to look cheap and not so nice. Make sure to photograph the fabric before buying it to avoid this.
Some fabrics wrinkle very easily and it is not fun to get a lot of wrinkles on your skirt as soon as you sit down. A tip is to wrinkle a small piece of the fabric and see how much it wrinkles.
Don't be afraid to use the "wrong" side of the fabric.
Most fabric have two sides that look different, one right side and one wrong side. Most of the time you will most likely use the right side of the fabric but don't forget to check the backside of the fabric. I like to use the wrong side of fabrics when the right side is for example too shiny. This way you will end up having a lot more option when choosing fabrics.
For my Sophie Hatter cosplay I used the wrong side of a micro satin and it worked fine:
So you decided on a fabric and are now going to buy it, but how much do you need?
This is a tricky question, some fabrics are expensive so you don't want to buy too much of it but if you buy too little you need to buy more later. When I started out I was really scared to order too little and ended up with a lot more than what I needed (I still have several yards left today), I have since then learned how much I will need.
A good way to think about it is to look at sewing patterns for similar garments of the one you will make. How much fabric does it recommend you use? Are you going to make a circle skirt? Use a calculator like this one to: http://byhandlondon.com/pages/circle-skirt-app to calculate how much you will need.
Remember to take a bit more of what you think you will need, since you want to include the seam allowance and it is easy to make mistakes.
A good way to see how much fabric you will need is to make a mock up. Sewing the garment you plan on making first in a super cheap material. I like to use really cheap bed sheets for this. By making the garment in a cheap material you will be able to see how much fabric you need but also practise to make it so you don't make as many errors and mistakes once you make it in the real fabric.
If you end up ordering too much it is not the whole world, you will be able to use it for other cosplays in the future.
You bought the fabric, what is the next step?
Once you have the fabric it is a few things you need to do before starting sewing.
It can be a good idea to pre-wash your fabric.
The fabric can shrink and change color a bit when you wash it and it is therefore a good idea to pre-wash it then you are planning on making something that is going to be washed again later when it is sewn. You don't want to make a cosplay just to wash it after the convention and end up with something you're not able to wear again because it shrunk in the wash. Different fabrics works different and you need to look up how you should wash it and in what heat.
Also remember to check how to dry the fabric afterwards, some fabrics can for example stretch out when hanged or the washing line can leave marks on the fabric and be hard to get away.
You don't need to wash all fabrics but a good thumb rule is that if you are planning on washing the piece at some point later, pre-wash the fabric.
Choosing the right thread and needle.
When choosing thread for your fabric it is two things you need to think about; What kind of thread do you need and what is a good color match for it. There is some different kind of threads and a good way to think about it is that if your fabric is synthetic you will need a synthetic thread such as polyester thread, if your fabric is natural you will need a natural thread like cotton thread. If you for example use a synthetic thread to a natural fabric the textile can rip because the thread is stronger than the fabric. I recommend to look up different properties for different thread before buying or ask in your store what would work best.
When choosing the color of the thread for the fabric it can sometimes be hard to find a exact match. I would when recommend to buy a darker shade of color rather than a lighter, it will look better. Bring a fabric sample of your fabric to the store so you can see so the color of the thread match the fabric before you buy it.
It can be a good idea to choose the right sewing machine needle to your fabric before you start sewing. Needles comes in different thicknesses and the thicker your fabric is the higher needle size you want. There is a few special needles like needles for sewing in stretch fabric, leather and microtex. Having the right needle for your fabric will make sewing a lot easier and I recommend getting the appropriate needle for the fabric you are working with.
Dyeing or adding a pattern to your fabric.
If you did not find the right fabric color for your character it can be a good idea to just dye the fabric yourself. When dyeing a fabric it is important to first pre-wash the fabric. It is also important to remember that it is much harder to dye synthetic fabric than natural. Make therefore sure what kind of fabric you are using and look up tutorials for how to color your fabrics. Remember that it also is important that if you are dyeing a natural fiber fabric that the thread also is natural and not synthetic so you don't end up with a dyed fabric with a different colored thread.
Finding the exact pattern your character have on their clothing can be really tough and it can therefore be a good idea to try making the pattern yourself. Fabric paint works great for this. Lay your fabric flat and draw out your pattern with a pen and then fill it in with the paint. Heat transfer vinyl works really well for some designs as well. There is a lot of tutorials about this, so look them up for inspiration.
Sewing patterns are a great help when sewing clothing and getting to know how clothes are constructed.
I highly recommend buying a pattern similar to what you are going to make, it will make the whole sewing process much easier! With the sewing pattern you will get big sheets of paper with the pattern pieces in different sizes and a step by step instruction on how to put it together. On the back of the pattern you will find a size chart so you can find out which size works for you, there will also be recomendations on what kind of fabric works for the clothing and how much fabric you will most likely need.
Making a pattern from scratch is a lot harder than it seems and you need some experience on how patterns work before you try making one yourself. If none of the sewing patterns fits your character design spot on you can always buy a similar pattern and then alter it.
Some people like to cut out their size out of the sewing pattern directly from the paper sheet it comes in but I recommend getting a roll of sewing pattern paper. It is a thin see through paper that you can lay over the sewing pattern and then trace with a pen the pattern to the sewing pattern paper. By doing this and cutting out the pattern from the sewing pattern paper instead of the sewing pattern directly you will be able to use it again in the future even if your size changes or lending out the pattern to a friend.
When you finally place the pattern pieces on the fabric don't forget to add a seam allowance! This is a small extra measurement you add around the pattern so you don't sew the garment too small. Some patterns already include seam allowance so make sure to read the instructions before drawing it out.
A tip is to try out the sewing pattern by first making a mock-up with a cheaper fabric. This way you will see if the size fit you and if you need to alter the design a bit without wasting your more expansive fabric.
The importance of grain lines and what it is.
To put it simply grain lines exist in all woven fabrics and are the orientation of the threads in the textile. Depending on which direction you cut out a pattern piece from the fabric the chosen grain will affect how the fabric hangs, stretches and sometimes looks. Depending what kind of fabric you are using this can be very important. If you are using a fabric like for example velvet or twills it is really important how you cut out your fabric. If you lay your hand to the fabric and stroke it in different directions you can feel how different it feels. If you cut out the pattern pieces in different orientations and then sew it together the grain lines will be different and when the light hits the garment it will appear as if it has different colors. Make sure when working with these kinds of fabrics that the pattern pieces are all cut out along the same grain lines.
In some woven fabrics however this is not that noticeable. Study your fabric before cutting out the pieces and see if you need to cut them out along the grain line or not. Non-woven fabrics do not have grains like for example leather, felt or interfacing.
Remember to zigzag.
Some fabrics fray, a lot, when you cut in them and to prevent the fraying from ruining your seams it is a good idea to use a zigzag stitch around the edges of the pieces before sewing them together. I have seen a lot of new people getting into cosplay make the mistake of not zigzaging the edges and end up with a ripped seam when the fraying eats away the fabric. Zigzaging takes a bit longer and you need a bit more thread but is really worth it in the end, no one likes when their cosplay breaks.
Ironing is really important!
I can't stress this enough! Ironing is one of the most important things you need to do when working with your fabric. Iron your fabric before drawing out your pattern on it, iron down the seams while you are sewing you cosplay together and iron everything once you are done. This will make such a difference in the final result. Your cosplay will look a lot better just by ironing it. If the cosplay get wrinkled in the transport to the convention it can also be a good idea to iron it again before putting it on.
OBS! Think about what kind of fabric you are using! Always iron on a test piece when working with a new fabric. If the fabric is synthetic it will melt in high temperature so it is really important to make sure you use the appropriate temperature. Wool can also be affected by high temperature so make some research before ironing. When ironing sensitive fabrics it can be a good idea to use a second piece of cotton fabric inbetween the iron and the fabric to prevent the sensitive fabric to take any damage.
Some extra tips:
Buying fabrics and sewing patterns secondhand - Second hand stores are great for finding fabrics, sewing patterns and details to a good cheap price. Buying skirts, curtains and bags are perfect to scavenge for parts to use for cosplay.
Look up tutorials - Tutorials are great and there is tons of them. Do some googling and see what you can find. A good place to start: http://cosplaytutorial.com/list.php
Alter clothing - If you are just starting out sewing and don't really know what you are doing it can be a good idea to start with altering clothing instead of sewing everything from scratch. Buy a base garment and then alter details and add what you need. This is a great introduction to sewing and does not cost and take as much time as making everything from scratch.
Interfacing - Interfacing is perfect if you need to make parts of your fabric more stiff like for example the collar. Interfacing is a piece of fabric that you can iron on to the backside of your fabric piece.
Lining - Lining is a inner layer of fabric and is really good you use in for example jackets were you will be able to see the inside and the lining hides the seams, interfacing etc.
Weathering - If you want your cosplay to look worn, bloody or dirty weathering is the way to go. There are a lot of different ways to do it so search around and pick your favorite method.
I get a lot of my fabric from Fabric.com, and they used to have free shipping if you spent over $35, well now they’ve changed that to $50.
Which sucks ‘cause sometimes I only want a couple yards, and it’s not worth it to pay the $5 in shipping, especially when the fabric is only $5 a yard.
But I found this out last year that Fabric.com sells most of their stuff on Amazon, and typically you can purchase it with free shipping.
So if you shop with them, and only want to buy a few yards but not pay shipping, check out Amazon! They’ll usually have it, and the retailer is still Fabric.com, so you’re getting it from the same place!
Fabric Notebooks obtener datos por red virtual con ip único
Siempre hay un detalle que puede complicar un proyecto de ingeniería de datos, especialmente cuando tenemos que trabajar con APIs limitadas o hay políticas de seguridad que requieren que los datos viajen por canales seguros.
En este artículo te mostramos como podemos acceder desde Fabric Notebooks a un origen de API por un canal seguro e IP pública única.
Si hay algo en lo que estamos de acuerdo es que conectarse a una API compleja siempre será más robusto y flexible hacerlo por código. Si estamos en Fabric, probablemente elijamos usar notebooks por sobre Pipelines. Los Pipelines están buenísimos, pero si de creación dinámica de token o jwt trata, se puede complicar.
Normalmente, cuando necesitamos canalizar Fabric por un canal seguro podemos usar la nueva feature de VNet Gateway. Sin embargo, ese canal solo funciona para los ítems Dataflow Gen2, Fabric data pipelines, Fabric Copy Job, Fabric Mirroring, Power BI semantic models y Power BI paginated reports. Fabric pensé que siempre necesitaríamos obtener datos desde esos ítems. Nosotros sabemos que obtener datos desde Notebooks puede ocurrir y quedamos frenados.
Para requerimientos de canales de seguridad dedicados por redes privadas, no podríamos ir por esa vía.
Por otro lado, algunos orígenes podrían dejarnos cargar las IPs públicas anunciadas por Microsoft sobre sus servicios. Lametablemente, no siempre es así. Fabric Notebooks puede salir por powerbi o por azure cloud. Lo que genera aproximadamente 150 rangos de IP y más de 600 mil IPs públicas. La carga de estas excepciones es inviable para algunos orígenes de datos.
¿Cómo podemos entonces salir a conectarnos en canal único y seguro? La realidad es que hoy no se puede 100% porque eso requeriría que Fabric Notebooks tengan configuraciones de redes privadas. A modo de alternativa, podemos canalizar que Fabric acceda a otro recurso que si esta configurado en una red. En este ejemplo tenemos una API de acceso restringido a 10 IPs públicas. Para que Fabric Notebooks pueda llegar, necesitaremos ayuda de otros recursos de azure. Primero un proxy que garantice una IP pública única. Segundo una red de privada de comunicación. Tercero un puente que ejecute las llamadas a la API y Fabric pueda comunicarse. La solución sería como muestra la siguiente imagen:
Azure NAT Gateway: es un servicio de traducción de direcciones de red (NAT) totalmente administrado y altamente resistente. Use Azure NAT Gateway para permitir que todas las instancias de una subred se conecten de salida a Internet mientras permanecen completamente privadas
Virtual Networks: permite a los recursos de Azure, como máquinas virtuales (VM) comunicarse de forma segura entre sí, Internet y redes locales
Azure Functions: es una solución sin servidor que le permite crear aplicaciones sólidas mientras usa menos código y con menos infraestructura y menores costos. En lugar de preocuparse de implementar y mantener servidores, puede usar la infraestructura en la nube para proporcionar todos los recursos actualizados necesarios para mantener sus aplicaciones en funcionamiento
Comenzamos creando una red virtual y en su configuración una subred:
Luego se asociará el NAT. También vamos a ir a Delegaciones para delegar a la subred el servicio de Apps de Azure:
Ahora creamos un Azure NAT Gateway asegurándonos que en Outbound IP creemos una IP pública. La clave aquí será asociar la red antes creada en networking:
La asociación debería asignarle a la red la salida nat automáticamente. Podemos validarlo buscando nuestra red y chequeando sus opciones:
Ahora si podemos continuar con nuestra Azure function. Lo primero será saber que solo los planes premium, app service flex consumption van a permitir la salida por red virtual. En nuestro caso iremos por flex consumption porque sabemos que el consumo será bastante reducido. Lo importante aquí es la sección de networking para seleccionar nuestra red virtual y su subred:
Por defecto, solo el tráfico hacia IPs privadas va por la VNet. Para que el tráfico hacia internet (tu API externa) use el NAT Gateway, debes configurar la aplicación para que todo el tráfico salga por la red virtual.
Esto lo vamos a configurar desde el azure functions. Buscamos el menú de configuración y las variables de entorno para configurar la siguiente:
WEBSITE_VNET_ROUTE_ALL = 1
El aplicar reiniciará la Function App para que tome efecto.
No vamos a explicar como se hace una Azure Function. Para ello puede leer la documentación de Microsoft. Pero si podemos mostrar que para probar podemos hacer un muy simple ejemplo con Python que tiene el siguiente código:
A la derecha tenemos los requests para llamar a la API de Azure Functions y el código solo hace un request a la api de ipify que devuelve la ip que la está consultando.
Podemos probarlo ejecutando un request de la azure function super sencillo para ver que la IP que devuelve:
Así comprobamos que coincide con nuestra IP generada en nuestro NAT Gateway:
De este modo hemos generado un túnel para que nuestro Fabric Notebook viajen a buscar datos por una red virtual controlada y segura que sale por una IP única. ¿Podríamos haber usado otro recurso en lugar de azure functions? Si. Podríamos usar Azure Logic Apps o código en un App Service Plan. Elegí functions por su free tier y familiaridad de uso. Además, que sería más práctico tener ahí una función que genere los requests de forma genérica los llamemos desde un notebook.
Espero que les haya servido para conocer un poco más sobre redes, seguridad y obtener datos con Fabric notebooks.
Tal vez escucharon hablar de que se puede generar un Gateway virtual hoy en día. Lo cierto es que no siempre en los proyectos de datos basta con ir a buscar datos a un origen web o instalar un onpremise Gateway.
La seguridad suele ser una pieza clave y permitir que solo quien corresponda acceda a los datos de forma segura puede ser un tema excluyente en una solución de integración de datos.
En este artículo charlamos de Fabric VNet Gateway. ¿Qué es? ¿Qué hace?
Vamos comenzar nuestro post como nos gusta en LaDataWeb leyendo la definición oficial
Una puerta de enlace de datos de red virtual le permite conectar Azure y otros servicios de datos a Microsoft Fabric y Power Platform. La puerta de enlace le permite comunicarse de forma segura con el origen de datos, ejecutar consultas y transmitir los resultados al servicio de forma segura.
En definitiva, nos permite crear un túnel con una red privada virtual que tengamos en Azure de forma tal que los datos viajen siempre de forma segura por un canal diferenciado de la internet pública.
Nuestro Gateway permitiría a las herramientas de integración de datos (las que tienen un “obtener datos”) pida los datos y los transforme en ese canal seguro. Los ítems de Fabric que pueden utilizar esta característica son Dataflow Gen2, Data Pipelines, Copy Jobs, Reflex, modelos semánticos de Power BI e informes paginados de Power BI.
Veamos gráficamente como sería.
NOTA: Cabe aclarar que para que esto funcione, contamos con una Virtual Network creada administrada en Azure. Esta red debe tener una subred con una delegación al servicio de power Platform:
Veamos cómo proceder desde Fabric. Nos dirigimos al engranaje y abrimos el manejo de puertas de enlace y conexiones. Ahí veremos una opción para la VNet
Fíjense que antes de poder crearlo, hay una restricción en la suscripción y es prender una configuración para que el servicio Microsoft:PowerPlatform sea un proveedor de la suscripción.
Tras corregir eso podemos completar los valores de la suscripción hasta la subred que vive en azure.
Ahora si podemos comunicarnos con recursos que estén asegurados en redes virtuales independientes y separadas del tráfico público. Pueden pensar a esto como un gateway on premise. Cuando se conectan a un origen y ponen la dirección, pueden delimitar esta VNet en el apartado de Gateway para llegar a conectar a esa base de datos que estaba en una red virtual o a ese origen que debía salir por dicha red:
Esto también podría servirnos para ir a un origen de datos externo que solo permite IP públicas únicas para conetarse. Azure dispone una cantidad muy amplias de IPs para sus servicios pero si nuestro origen lo limita a pocas IP, esta solución junto a un NAT Gateway en Azure (quien restringe el tráfico de una red virtual a una sola dirección pública) serían una potente solución.
Repaso Sobre las Fabric VNet Gateway
Es una oferta de seguridad de red eficaz. Se puede usar con puntos de conexión privados para orígenes de datos de Azure para asegurarse de que ningún tráfico se expone nunca a un punto de conexión público.
Proporciona aislamiento de cómputo que mejora la seguridad contra ataques entre inquilinos.
Como nota adicional, cuando usamos Fabric Capacity, Microsoft recomienda usar F8 y versiones posteriores para tener un mejor funcionamiento, aun que funciona en todas las SKU.
Espero que les sirva para conocer más sobre seguridad y canales de redes virtuales en conexión de datos.
Measuring Tips for Perfect Fabric Yardage Every Time
Measuring Tips for Perfect Fabric Yardage Every Time
Measuring fabric yardage correctly is one of the most important — and most misunderstood — steps in any home design or DIY project. Whether you’re sewing curtains, reupholstering a chair, or creating custom pillows, inaccurate measurements can lead to wasted fabric, mismatched patterns, or costly reorders.
The good news? Measuring fabric…
[Fabric] Entornos y librerías de código para tus notebooks
Desde sus inicios, Fabric, ha contado con capacidades varias para su código. Entre ellas, la instalación o delimitación de librerías o paquetes personalizados. Podían configurarse desde notebooks o por código. Sin embargo, todo eso fue cambiando hasta llegar a la versión definitiva que conocemos hoy.
En este artículo hablaremos de entornos o environments para conocer como trabajar en notebooks con librerías propias y que otras configuraciones contiene.
Comencemos como nos gusta hacer en LaDataWeb. Veamos la definición de libro, es decir, la que Microsoft dice de su componente:
"El entorno de Microsoft Fabric es un elemento consolidado para toda la configuración de hardware y software. En un entorno puede seleccionar tiempos de ejecución de Spark diferentes, configurar los recursos de proceso, instalar bibliotecas desde repositorios públicos o directorios locales, etc."
Dicho de otro modo, nos permite crear un entorno que combina librerías, archivos y configuraciones de clusters de spark para reutilizarlo en los notebooks de un área de trabajo.
¿Por qué haríamos esto? tal vez necesitamos compartir un archivo en el equipo de desarrollo de librerías o cadenas de código. Puede que conozcamos una librería que resuelve nuestro problema y no esta por defecto. Podríamos necesitar modificar los cómputos de spark para corridas especificas. Éstas y muchas más podrían ser las razones que nos lleven a crear un entorno.
Crear entorno
Podemos ir al hub de creación donde salen todos los items y buscar "Environments".
Luego de seleccionarlo basta con poner un nombre.
En mi caso voy a agregar una librería de python que existe en PyPi y necesito para correr mi código. Esto creará un ítem nuevo en nuestra área de trabajo del tipo entorno. Al abrirlo nos encontramos con lo siguiente:
Aquí podemos identificar fácilmente lo que nos mencionaba la definición:
Librerías: Aquí podremos ver el listado de librerías que contiene Fabric para cada lenguaje detrás de spark, como lo es java (scala), python o R, como así también agregar librerías provenientes de fuentes conocidas como PyPi o propias importando archivos como .whl de paquetes de python.
Cómputos spark: en este apartado podremos habilitar un motor de ejecución nativa. Agregar propiedades de spark manualmente con UI. Configurar el pool de spark y detalles de cambios como core, memory, executor core, executor memory y executor instances. Cabe aclarar que la libertad de configuración para el cómputo la delimita el admin del área de trabajo, admin de la capacidad o admin del tenant. Dependerá que permisos fueron delegados.
Recursos: facilita la capacidad de administrar recursos pequeños durante la fase de desarrollo. Los recursos del entorno de Fabric proporcionan un sistema de archivos que le permite administrar los archivos y las carpetas para compartir. Podríamos dejar un .whl para que sea de acceso y descarga en caso de que otro usuario quiera usarlo en otro entorno.
Nosotros nos enfocaremos en cargar una librería nueva. Entonces daremos click en "Add from PyPI". En la pantalla saldrá un menú desplegable. No se asusten si no ven la librería. Escriban su nombre y si es detectada verán que automáticamente se completa la última versión.
En caso que dejen el proceso a la mitad y tengan que cortar, existe el botón "guardar". Sin embargo, para que el cambio sea efectivo y pueda comenzar a utilizarlas, hay que "publicar". Este proceso toma tiempo. En mi caso, tomó un poco menos de 10 minutos en un F2 para solo esa librería. Quedará una notificación corriendo así:
Cuando el proceso termine, podrán ir a su notebook. Elegir el tipo de notebook en la modalidad de spark que usen, en mi caso pyspark. Al lado verán el botón para seleccionar su entorno. Esto bastaría para que funcione:
Consideraciones
Los entornos son un ítem de Fabric más del área de trabajo. Por lo tanto, se pueden compartir igual que todos los demás. Bajo permisos de lectura, re compartir y escritura. La lectura permite ver la configuración y utilizar el entorno. Re compartir lo dicen las palabras. Escritura permitirá editar la configuración además de usarlo.
Adicionalmente a notebook, los entornos puede ser delimitado para Spark Jobs.
Los entornos pueden configurarse para ser elegidos por defecto en los notebooks o spark jobs del área de trabajo. Basta con ir a las configuraciones del área de trabajo en el aparatado de ingeniería de datos / configuración de spark y seleccionar el entorno por defecto.
Los entornos funcionan para backgrounds de spark. Esto significa que un notebook de python, al día 30 de julio del 2025 no puede utilizar uno de estos entornos.
