Parameterization of environment when running notebook activity

Hi Anonymous 

In Fabric-spark there is a concept called the "environment" of the notebook.  I'm not using the word environment in a generalized sense.  I'm referring to the selection of this notebook "environment".  

I think I understand your dynamic reconfiguration of the notebook spark session, but that isn't what I'm looking for...

The main thing I need to be able to do is swap back and forth between "custom" spark pool and the "starter" spark pool.    This would allow me to isolate bugs in the platform which are unusual in that they impact one type of spark pool and not the other.   In the perfect world the "custom" pools wouldn't have additional reliability concerns.  But we are facing issues, and Microsoft does not seem eager to engage with their "professional" support cases.  So I am doing additional work to troubleshoot error messages for them.  My plan is currently to pinpoint the bug, leverage this bug to create a painful week-long outage in production, and then open a case with "unified" support (it is Microsoft's secondary support organization, which is presumably more willing to work on bugs in Fabric).  I've learned that you sometimes have to pay a bit more to get an Azure bug fixed (or even get it to be acknowledged).
