SKUMicrosoftAzureDedicated SQL pools + Serverless SQL + Spark pools (legacy footprint; Microsoft Fabric is the strategic successor)
Azure Synapse Analytics
Azure's predecessor / sibling to Microsoft Fabric — unified analytics service combining data warehouse (dedicated SQL pools), data lake querying (serverless SQL), and Spark. Strategic positioning: Fabric is the forward-looking platform; Synapse is still in many estates and on a long deprecation curve.
