Spark Session Fails to Start

Hi dragonlobster 
I'm trying to think out loud with you here are some possible solutions you can try:

- Check for Regional Outages: Since the issue is specific to the East Asia region, check Azure Status to see if there's an outage affecting your Fabric capacity.

- Try a Different Region: If possible, create a Spark environment in another region (e.g., Southeast Asia or another nearby region) to see if the issue is region-specific.

- Manually Scale Your Capacity: If you're using a Fabric Premium Capacity, try increasing the capacity size temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.

- Check Quotas & Limits: Ensure you haven't exceeded your capacity’s limits. Check your workload settings in Fabric Admin Portal → Capacity Settings → Workload to see if Spark has enough resources.

- Contact Microsoft Support Immediately: Since this is a critical issue, raise a Severity A support ticket with Microsoft. Go to Microsoft Support → Support → New Support Request and describe the issue in detail.
