Even the package setting in the Workspace itself is disabled for me: here is the screenshot.

I've 2 questions in this reagrd:

• Am I missing any configuration for the GPU pool or this feature is not released?

Hello @Prateek Narula ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

(UPDATE:6/10/2022): Unfortunately, we do not have Library Management (Package) support for GPU spark pools in Azure Synapse Analytics.

---------------------------------------------------

As per the repro, I had noticed similar behaviour.

Looks like packages are only supported for Node size family: "Memory Optimized" - let me get a confirmation from the product team.

We are reaching out to internal team to get more information related to this issue and will get back to you as soon as we have an update.

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
