    Hi, Anonymous 

    Premium Gen2 enables customers to automatically add compute capacity to avoid slowdowns under heavy use, using Autoscale.

     

    Autoscale requires Power BI Premium per capacity (Gen2) and Azure subscriptions.

    Price: $85 Per vCore/24 hours

     

    To enable Autoscale, the following steps need to be completed:

    • Select and configure an Azure subscription to use with Autoscale
    • Configure Power BI Premium to use the selected Azure subscription for Autoscale

     

    Please refer to these related documents for more details

Embedded Gen2 does not provide an out-of-the-box vertical autoscale feature. Instead, customers can configure autoscale using the following methods in conjunction:

  • Power BI Embedded Azure Resource Manager REST APIs , for example Capacities - Update .

  • Power BI Embedded Gen2 capacity metrics  such as CPU and Overload.

  • Azure alerts . 

This option is cheeper than Premium autoscale (flexible, no 24 hours commitment, cheeper v-core price)
