Azure Fabric Management SDK for Python

Manage Microsoft Fabric capacities and resources programmatically.

Installation

pip install azure-mgmt-fabric
pip install azure-identity

Environment Variables

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP=<your-resource-group>

Authentication

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.fabric import FabricMgmtClient
import os

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = FabricMgmtClient(
    credential=credential,
    subscription_id=os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"]
)

Create Fabric Capacity

from azure.mgmt.fabric import FabricMgmtClient
from azure.mgmt.fabric.models import FabricCapacity, FabricCapacityProperties, CapacitySku
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
import os

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = FabricMgmtClient(
    credential=credential,
    subscription_id=os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"]
)

resource_group = os.environ["AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"]
capacity_name = "myfabriccapacity"

capacity = client.fabric_capacities.begin_create_or_update(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    capacity_name=capacity_name,
    resource=FabricCapacity(
        location="eastus",
        sku=CapacitySku(
            name="F2",  # Fabric SKU
            tier="Fabric"
        ),
        properties=FabricCapacityProperties(
            administration=FabricCapacityAdministration(
                members=["user@contoso.com"]
            )
        )
    )
).result()

print(f"Capacity created: {capacity.name}")

Get Capacity Details

capacity = client.fabric_capacities.get(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    capacity_name=capacity_name
)

print(f"Capacity: {capacity.name}")
print(f"SKU: {capacity.sku.name}")
print(f"State: {capacity.properties.state}")
print(f"Location: {capacity.location}")

List Capacities in Resource Group

capacities = client.fabric_capacities.list_by_resource_group(
    resource_group_name=resource_group
)

for capacity in capacities:
    print(f"Capacity: {capacity.name} - SKU: {capacity.sku.name}")

List All Capacities in Subscription

all_capacities = client.fabric_capacities.list_by_subscription()

for capacity in all_capacities:
    print(f"Capacity: {capacity.name} in {capacity.location}")

Update Capacity

from azure.mgmt.fabric.models import FabricCapacityUpdate, CapacitySku

updated = client.fabric_capacities.begin_update(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    capacity_name=capacity_name,
    properties=FabricCapacityUpdate(
        sku=CapacitySku(
            name="F4",  # Scale up
            tier="Fabric"
        ),
        tags={"environment": "production"}
    )
).result()

print(f"Updated SKU: {updated.sku.name}")

Suspend Capacity

Pause capacity to stop billing:

client.fabric_capacities.begin_suspend(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    capacity_name=capacity_name
).result()

print("Capacity suspended")

Resume Capacity

Resume a paused capacity:

client.fabric_capacities.begin_resume(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    capacity_name=capacity_name
).result()

print("Capacity resumed")

Delete Capacity

client.fabric_capacities.begin_delete(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    capacity_name=capacity_name
).result()

print("Capacity deleted")

Check Name Availability

from azure.mgmt.fabric.models import CheckNameAvailabilityRequest

result = client.fabric_capacities.check_name_availability(
    location="eastus",
    body=CheckNameAvailabilityRequest(
        name="my-new-capacity",
        type="Microsoft.Fabric/capacities"
    )
)

if result.name_available:
    print("Name is available")
else:
    print(f"Name not available: {result.reason}")

List Available SKUs

skus = client.fabric_capacities.list_skus(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    capacity_name=capacity_name
)

for sku in skus:
    print(f"SKU: {sku.name} - Tier: {sku.tier}")

Client Operations

Operation	Method
client.fabric_capacities	Capacity CRUD operations
client.operations	List available operations

Fabric SKUs

SKU	Description	CUs
F2	Entry level	2 Capacity Units
F4	Small	4 Capacity Units
F8	Medium	8 Capacity Units
F16	Large	16 Capacity Units
F32	X-Large	32 Capacity Units
F64	2X-Large	64 Capacity Units
F128	4X-Large	128 Capacity Units
F256	8X-Large	256 Capacity Units
F512	16X-Large	512 Capacity Units
F1024	32X-Large	1024 Capacity Units
F2048	64X-Large	2048 Capacity Units

Capacity States

State	Description
Active	Capacity is running
Paused	Capacity is suspended (no billing)
Provisioning	Being created
Updating	Being modified
Deleting	Being removed
Failed	Operation failed

Long-Running Operations

All mutating operations are long-running (LRO). Use .result() to wait:

# Synchronous wait
capacity = client.fabric_capacities.begin_create_or_update(...).result()

# Or poll manually
poller = client.fabric_capacities.begin_create_or_update(...)
while not poller.done():
    print(f"Status: {poller.status()}")
    time.sleep(5)
capacity = poller.result()

Best Practices

1. Use DefaultAzureCredential for authentication
2. Suspend unused capacities to reduce costs
3. Start with smaller SKUs and scale up as needed
4. Use tags for cost tracking and organization
5. Check name availability before creating capacities
6. Handle LRO properly — don't assume immediate completion
7. Set up capacity admins — specify users who can manage workspaces
8. Monitor capacity usage via Azure Monitor metrics
