Auto Stop Fabric Cluster - how can I do that

[HassanAshas]

Hi, 

I have created a Fabric Cluster from Azure Portal and assigned to a Workspace on my Fabric Portal.

I am able to use that to run Notebooks. 

However, I want to implement a rule to auto stop my cluster if it is sitting idle for 5 minutes. How can I do that?
and then if I run any notebook/query again, I would want the stopped cluster to start again. 

Is that possible to do in Microsoft Fabric? This is something I know we can do in Databricks but I am unable to do the same in Microsoft Fabric

Unfortunately, based on my understanding; there is no feature wherein the fabirc capacity would resume or pause automatically based on the idle time..

YOu would have to build a custom solution wherein at the start and end of each your jobs, you would have a logic to resume and pause the capacity via the REST API.
