Azure.ResourceManager.Fabric (.NET)

Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Microsoft Fabric capacity resources via Azure Resource Manager.

Management Plane Only This SDK manages Fabric capacities (compute resources). For working with Fabric workspaces, lakehouses, warehouses, and data items, use the Microsoft Fabric REST API or data plane SDKs.

Installation

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.Fabric
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Current Version: 1.0.0 (GA - September 2025)
API Version: 2023-11-01
Target Frameworks: .NET 8.0, .NET Standard 2.0

Environment Variables

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>

Authentication

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Fabric;

// Always use DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

// Get subscription
var subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();

Resource Hierarchy

ArmClient
└── SubscriptionResource
    └── ResourceGroupResource
        └── FabricCapacityResource

Core Workflows

1. Create Fabric Capacity

using Azure.ResourceManager.Fabric;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Fabric.Models;
using Azure.Core;

// Get resource group
var resourceGroup = await subscription.GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

// Define capacity configuration
var administration = new FabricCapacityAdministration(
    new[] { "admin@contoso.com" }  // Capacity administrators (UPNs or object IDs)
);

var properties = new FabricCapacityProperties(administration);

var sku = new FabricSku("F64", FabricSkuTier.Fabric);

var capacityData = new FabricCapacityData(
    AzureLocation.WestUS2,
    properties,
    sku)
{
    Tags = { ["Environment"] = "Production" }
};

// Create capacity (long-running operation)
var capacityCollection = resourceGroup.Value.GetFabricCapacities();
var operation = await capacityCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    "my-fabric-capacity",
    capacityData);

FabricCapacityResource capacity = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Created capacity: {capacity.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"State: {capacity.Data.Properties.State}");

2. Get Fabric Capacity

// Get existing capacity
var capacity = await resourceGroup.Value
    .GetFabricCapacityAsync("my-fabric-capacity");

Console.WriteLine($"Name: {capacity.Value.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Location: {capacity.Value.Data.Location}");
Console.WriteLine($"SKU: {capacity.Value.Data.Sku.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"State: {capacity.Value.Data.Properties.State}");
Console.WriteLine($"Provisioning State: {capacity.Value.Data.Properties.ProvisioningState}");

3. Update Capacity (Scale SKU or Change Admins)

var capacity = await resourceGroup.Value
    .GetFabricCapacityAsync("my-fabric-capacity");

var patch = new FabricCapacityPatch
{
    Sku = new FabricSku("F128", FabricSkuTier.Fabric),  // Scale up
    Properties = new FabricCapacityUpdateProperties
    {
        Administration = new FabricCapacityAdministration(
            new[] { "admin@contoso.com", "newadmin@contoso.com" }
        )
    }
};

var updateOperation = await capacity.Value.UpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    patch);

Console.WriteLine($"Updated SKU: {updateOperation.Value.Data.Sku.Name}");

4. Suspend and Resume Capacity

// Suspend capacity (stop billing for compute)
await capacity.Value.SuspendAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
Console.WriteLine("Capacity suspended");

// Resume capacity
var resumeOperation = await capacity.Value.ResumeAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
Console.WriteLine($"Capacity resumed. State: {resumeOperation.Value.Data.Properties.State}");

5. Delete Capacity

await capacity.Value.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
Console.WriteLine("Capacity deleted");

6. List All Capacities

// In a resource group
await foreach (var cap in resourceGroup.Value.GetFabricCapacities())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"- {cap.Data.Name} ({cap.Data.Sku.Name})");
}

// In a subscription
await foreach (var cap in subscription.GetFabricCapacitiesAsync())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"- {cap.Data.Name} in {cap.Data.Location}");
}

7. Check Name Availability
