Fabric Capacity

When we use paid Fabric Capacity, we might need to auto pause and resume the capacity for cost saving. We can use Azure Automation Runbook to achieve this. We setp an Automation Account with a Managed Idenity. Step 1: Set Up Permissions Go to your Azure Automation Account. Under Account Settings, click Identity and ensure the “System assigned” toggle is On. Go to your Fabric Capacity resource in the Azure Portal.
