Add Capacity Resume and Intelligent Auto-Pause Capabilities Directly in Microsoft Fabric

Currently, resuming or pausing a Microsoft Fabric capacity requires navigating to the Azure portal. It would be extremely valuable to have these capabilities directly within the Microsoft Fabric portal:

Resume Capacity from Fabric

• Allow authorized users to start (resume) a paused Fabric capacity directly from the Fabric UI.
• Eliminate the need to access the Azure portal.
• Simplify self-service and improve the user experience.

Intelligent Auto-Pause

Provide a configurable option to automatically pause the capacity when it is no longer being used.

Possible settings could include:

• Pause after 30 minutes, 1 hour, or a custom period of inactivity
• Prevent pausing while jobs are still running.

Benefits

• Significant cost savings, especially for non-production environments (DEV, TEST, QA).
• Reduced dependency on Azure.
