Auto Scaling of Power BI embedded using ARM templates
Microsoft EmployeeHi Anonymous,
A scaling operation can take about a minute. During this time, the capacity will not be available. Embedded content may fail to load. So this could be a limitation currently. :smileyhappy:

I understand that we may face unavailability during scaling, but Power BI Embedded should support API as first class citizen.
It should be scalable via ARM template otherwise I do not understand why such service even exist in Azure.
Taking into account that in your response you even didn't tried to answer to my question and provided a guide for scaling PBI instances via portaI I assume that manipulating Power BI Embedded instances via ARM is a "grey" area which don't receive support from Power BI team at least at this moment.
Is it true?I have a PowerShell runbook scheduled in Azure that does what you are trying to do, but based on a schedule created by me in a JSON config object in the runbook. I haven't figured out yet how to check/test the current memory usage in our capacity yet though. I would love to make my runbook more of a true "auto-scale", but the scheduling mechanism works beautifully.

Anonymous Scheduling the scaling would work as well in my case. I haven't seen any other examples. Could you please share your script?
