Do you need to automate scaling of Microsoft Fabric capacities or maybe pausing the capacity at night? Then take a look at the following helper code snippets. The code shows how to use the Microsoft Fabric Capacity REST API in Fabric Pipelines, Azure Data Factory and Postman.
The use cases for setting up capacity management could be:
- Scale up a Fabric capacity at night for a data load and then scale down again, if the end-users in PowerBI is satisfied with a smaller capacity.
- Use a multi capacity environment having the orchestration on a small F2 capacity and then use this capacity to start/stop other capacities when needed.
- Having a development environment on a designated Fabric capacity with a scheduled pipeline that pauses the capacity at night.
