Pause compute in Azure Synapse Analytics
When performing the batch movement of data to populate a data warehouse, it is typical for the data engineer to understand the schedule on which the data loads take place. In these circumstances, you may be able to predict the periods of downtime in the data loading and querying process and take advantage of the pause operations to minimize your costs.
