.SYNOPSIS  
    Vertically scale up and down or pause/resume an Azure Power BI Embedded Capacity according to a schedule using Azure Automation.    
   
.DESCRIPTION   
    This Azure Automation runbook enables vertically scaling or pausing of an Azure Power BI Embedded Capacity according to a schedule. Autoscaling based on a schedule allows you to scale your solution according to predictable resource demand. For example you could require a high capacity (e.g. A5) on monday during peak hours, while the rest of the week the traffic is decreased, allowing you to scale down (e.g. A1). Outside business hours and during weekends you could then suspend the capacity so no charges will be applied. This runbook can be scheduled to run hourly. The code checks the scalingSchedule parameter to decide if scaling needs to be executed, or if the capacity is in the desired state already and no work needs to be done. The script is time zone aware.
