The automatic pause feature in Azure Synapse Analytics can be used to optimize costs by releasing resources during idle periods.

You can specify the idle time duration in minutes before resources are automatically released. Also, you can adjust this setting after creating the pool; any active sessions will need to be restarted. It is important to note that the automatic pause feature operates independently of the autoscale feature. Therefore, resources can be paused regardless of whether autoscaling is enabled or disabled.

Below are the steps to enable automatic pause:

Step 1: Select Azure Synapse Analytics.

Step 2: Select the Apache Spark pools tab and select the Spark pool that you want to configure.

Step 3: Under Settings, select Automatic pause & set the Number of minutes idle to the number of minutes that you want the Spark pool to be idle before it is paused.

Step 4: Apply and save changes.
