Hi all,
My tenant has private link enabled on tenant level. This omes with the limitation that there are no available public starter pools for spark, so we are spinning them up each time we run a notebook. We would like to disable private link for this reason, but I heard that that will not help since the managed VNet provisioned for the workspace I am running things in will not detach from that workspace, SO even if I disable private link, I still won't get access to public starter pools. Could anyone help with some guidance?
Much appreciated.

Hi @chm-999 ,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community.
Disabling Private Link at the tenant level will not restore access to public starter pools for existing workspaces. Once a workspace has a managed VNet created when Private Link was enabled, it remains attached and starter pools stay disabled.
The simplest approach is to create a new Fabric workspace after disabling Private Link or without Managed Private Endpoints. This workspace will have access to public starter pools by default. If you must keep the existing workspace, reach out to Microsoft Support.

Hi. I'm not sure I'm following all the issue here, but let me tell you how to disable it. As a Fabric Administrator you can access an Admin portal full of settings to change. Check the picture out. I would say this is what you are refering
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
