azure-mgmt-fabric-py

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()
