Per-video scripts

Video 1 — CSA Loom Overview (3 min)

[0:00] Title card: "CSA Loom — The Microsoft Fabric Experience in
       Your Azure Government Tenant"

[0:05] B-roll: federal agency datacenter

[0:10] Voice-over: "Microsoft Fabric is the strategic unified
       analytics SaaS platform. But Fabric isn't yet available in
       any US Government cloud — and Microsoft has not published a
       Gov GA date."

[0:30] Cut to: Console screenshot

[0:35] VO: "CSA Loom is the bridge. A productized, Azure-native
       parity layer that gives you the Fabric workspace experience
       inside your existing Azure tenant — federal, DoD, IC, state +
       local, defense industrial base."

[1:00] Quick cuts of: Console panes, Setup Wizard chat, parity
       service icons

[1:30] VO: "Three things matter: deploy fast, feel like Fabric,
       migrate cleanly. Loom delivers all three."

[2:00] Show forward-migration diagram

[2:15] VO: "When Fabric reaches your boundary, your Delta data
       becomes OneLake shortcuts. Zero data movement. Your dbt + KQL
       + Purview port 1:1. You're not trapped in Loom; you're
       bridged into Fabric."

Video 2 — What's the install like (4 min)

Screen recording of actual azd up install (sped 4x). Voice-over narrates each phase + cost expectations.

Video 3 — Loom Console tour (8 min)

Screen recording walking each of the 12 v1 panes. Workspace creation, lakehouse browse, warehouse query, notebook tour, KQL editor, catalog, activator, data agents, monitoring, admin.

Video 4 — Loom Setup Wizard conversation (5 min)

Screen recording of the conversational deploy of a new DLZ. Shows live .bicepparam preview pane.

Video 5 — Direct Lake parity explained (6 min)

Whiteboard-style explainer + benchmark live demo: - Why Direct Lake is unique (VertiPaq transcoder) - Why Loom can't fully match (no OSS DAX engine on columnar) - What we ship instead (Premium Import + warm-cache materializer) - Benchmark: Delta commit → 15 s refresh vs Fabric's sub-second

Video 6 — Activator rules deep-dive (7 min)

Tutorial-style. Walks through authoring a rule, the NRules evaluation, the Redis state machine for andStays, action dispatch.

Video 7 — Data Agents tutorial (6 min)

NL Q&A demo. Configure agent → test queries → show NL2SQL + identity passthrough.

Video 8 — Mirroring zero-ETL demo (5 min)

Source Cosmos DB → Mirroring Engine → Bronze Delta. Real-time CDC visible.

Video 9 — Forward migration to Fabric (4 min)

Screen recording + diagram. Show fiab-migrate snapshot → plan → execute against a test Fabric workspace. OneLake shortcut creation + same data accessible from Fabric.

Video 10 — Hybrid Fabric + Loom topology (5 min)

Whiteboard explainer of cross-cloud B2B + APIM bridges + data residency. Most common federal customer pattern.

Video 11 — 5-day workshop preview (3 min)

Highlight reel from each day of the Federal CoE workshop.
