CSA Loom — the Microsoft Fabric experience for Azure tenants where Fabric isn't yet available: lakehouses, warehouses, notebooks, semantic models, Activator rules, Data Agents, across Commercial, GCC, GCC-High, and DoD IL5

Demo Script

Three variants for live + recorded CSA Loom demos.

5-minute lightning demo

Trade-show booth / executive briefing center context.

Time Action Talk track
0:00-0:30 Open Loom Console; show Workspaces pane "This is CSA Loom. Looks and feels like Microsoft Fabric, runs in your Azure Government tenant."
0:30-1:30 Open a Lakehouse, show tables, sample a query in Warehouse pane "Same medallion pattern Fabric uses. UC / Purview governance underneath."
1:30-3:00 Open Notebook, run a Spark cell, show Copilot /explain magic "Notebooks with Copilot — same Databricks engine, same notebook experience."
3:00-4:30 Open Semantic Model designer; trigger a Delta commit; show 15s refresh latency "Direct Lake parity in 5-30 seconds via warm-cache materializer. Honest about the gap vs Fabric's sub-second."
4:30-5:00 Show architecture diagram + "deployed via azd in 60 min" "All this — azd up, your tenant, full Bicep, free in v1."

Closer: "Want a deeper look? Let's schedule 30 minutes."

30-minute technical demo

Full walkthrough for a federal architecture team.

Setup (pre-demo)

  • Loom deployed to demo sub (Commercial for fastest path)
  • Sample dataset loaded into a test workspace
  • Power BI Premium F-SKU active
  • AOAI deployment in same region as Loom

Script

  1. Marketplace install (recorded clip) — 30 s

  2. "We're starting from a recording because the actual install takes 60-100 min. Here's what the user sees: portal click → form → deploy."

  3. Live: Loom Setup Wizard — 5 min

  4. Walk through the conversational deploy of adding a new DLZ
  5. Show the live .bicepparam preview

  6. Confirm gate + deploy

  7. Live: Create a workspace via Console — 3 min

  8. Workspaces pane → + New Workspace
  9. Watch deploy progress (5 min)

  10. Open workspace home

  11. Live: Ingest via Mirroring Engine — 3 min

  12. Mirroring pane → + New Mirror
  13. Configure Cosmos DB source

  14. Watch CDC populate Bronze table

  15. Live: Transform Bronze → Silver → Gold — 5 min

  16. Open Notebook pane (Databricks)
  17. Run a transform cell

  18. Verify in Lakehouse pane

  19. Live: Catalog the Gold tables — 2 min

  20. Catalog pane → add sensitivity label
  21. Show UC tags (Commercial) or Purview classifications (Gov)

  22. Show lineage view

  23. Live: Semantic Model designer + Direct-Lake-Shim — 4 min

  24. Author TMDL model
  25. Deploy

  26. Trigger refresh — show 15s latency

  27. Live: Power BI report against the model — 1 min

  28. Open report in Power BI service

  29. Show real-time data

  30. Live: Activator rule — 3 min

  31. Activator pane → + New Rule
  32. Visual rule designer

  33. Test fire — show Teams notification

  34. Live: Data Agent + test chat — 3 min

    • Data Agents pane → + New Agent
    • Configure with example queries
    • Test chat: ask a natural-language question
    • Show NL → SQL generation + result + citation

  35. Tour Monitoring Hub — 1 min

    • CU-equivalent dashboard
    • Per-engine query history
    • Cost dashboard

  36. Discuss per-boundary deltas — 30 s

    • "Same Console, same UX, in Gov: Container Apps becomes AKS; UC becomes Purview-primary; Foundry Agent Service becomes MAF
    • AOAI direct. Customer-transparent."

Closer: Open Q&A.

60-minute deep-dive

Adds to the 30-min demo: - Per-boundary Bicep walkthrough (10 min) - Show commercial.bicepparam vs gcc-high.bicepparam - Highlight dispatch differences (Container Apps → AKS, etc.) - MCP-driven deploy from the wizard (5 min) - Show PIM-for-Groups JIT elevation - Show MCP tool call in Activity Log - Forward migration tooling demo (10 min) - fiab-migrate snapshot - fiab-migrate plan - fiab-migrate execute against test Fabric workspace - Show OneLake shortcut + zero data movement - Hybrid topology architecture (5 min) - Cross-cloud B2B + cross-cloud APIM - Loom Gov + Fabric Commercial side-by-side

Demo environment requirements

  • Loom deployed in a dedicated demo sub (or shared CSU demo sub)
  • Pre-loaded sample data: NOAA daily weather (Tutorial 02 dataset)
  • Cosmos DB test container (Tutorial 06)
  • Test ADX cluster with synthetic IoT data (Tutorial 04)
  • Test Power BI Premium workspace
  • Pre-configured AOAI deployment

Recorded video versions

Each variant has a recorded video version under video-plan.md: - 5-min lightning → "CSA Loom Overview" video - 30-min technical → "Loom Console Tour" + "Loom Setup Wizard" + "Direct Lake parity explained" videos - 60-min deep-dive → "Per-boundary deploy walkthrough" + "Forward migration to Fabric" + "Hybrid topology" videos

Troubleshooting during live demo

Issue Fallback
Deploy fails mid-demo Switch to pre-deployed demo environment
Network slow in venue Use recorded video for slow segments
Live Activator firing delayed Use pre-fired rule log to show outcomes
Direct-Lake-Shim latency > 60s Show Monitoring Hub historical data instead
