Power BI Embedded resource pausing automatically

[ghlevin]

I have a client that uses Power BI Embedded within Azure. The resource has everyday an capacity update.

However, on the last days, I believe the update is failing, causing the resource to pause. Then I have to restart it manually.

Is there a way to have the resource not to pause? Should I stop the update schedules?

Hi @ghlevin ,

Please check this blog:

Azure Resource Manager API 

The release of the new Azure capacities for Power BI Embedded in October enables ISVs to enjoy the full elasticity of an Azure resource. ISVs can now pause or resume capacity, scale up or down and pay for hourly usage only. To fully leverage this capability, those actions need to occur programmatically.

So now, as promised, we are releasing Azure Resource Management APIs to do all these actions automatically. These are all the actions you can perform using the ARM API:

• Scale up/ down
• Pause/ start resource
• Create/ Delete resource
• Get capacity information
• Update capacity
• Get capacity list in a resource group/ subscription
