n Microsoft Fabric, capacity management is currently manual or script-based, which can be inefficient and costly for organizations with predictable or intermittent workloads.
I propose adding native auto-pause and auto-scale capabilities for Fabric capacities (e.g., F64, F2) based on usage patterns or scheduled time windows. This would allow tenants to:
- Automatically pause capacities when idle (e.g., nights, weekends).
- Automatically scale down to lower SKUs (e.g., F2) when usage is low.
- Automatically scale up when usage increases or during business hours.
- Receive cost-saving recommendations based on historical usage.
This feature would help optimize resource usage, reduce costs, and simplify administration — especially for Fabric-only tenants or those with predictable workloads.
Benefits
- Cost savings for organizations
- Reduced need for custom automation scripts
- Improved governance and control
- Aligns with Azure’s existing autoscaling capabilities
