Switch capabilities on one at a time
Each optional capability has an on/off switch, advanced ones start off, and off means the engine and the scheduled jobs skip it.
Purpose
Upgrading a tool should not spring new behavior on a production tenant.
Design
Settings > Features & edition lists the optional capabilities - discovery, alerting, workload connectors, Power BI, managed-tenant features, scheduled jobs - each with a switch and its default. A newly shipped advanced feature starts off. When a feature is off, the engine, the scheduled jobs and the integrations skip it, however the work is triggered. A capability that cannot work in your deployment is locked off with the reason. Home, Audit and Settings stay on, so the way back is not hidden.
Business opportunities
Adopt the product at your own pace, team by team, with each change of the feature set audited.
