How do I set a automation to stop a VM on weekends & evenings
Hi All, I want to stop a VM during non working hours which are evenings and weekends, can this been done?
Hi Thanks for the reply
Start/Stop VMs during off hours - V2 is the only option now which has different options
Any ideas on what to put for them
The StartStop V2 will create its own resources so you need to define the name of your resources in each
Azure function App Name:
The name of the Azure Function App that will perform the action on the VM(s)
Application Insight Name: The name of the Application Insights instance that will hold the analytics for Start/Stop.

- Is the
Azure function app name / insight name just something unique I want to give it not something I have to create prior to the Start/Stop v2?
Does Start/Stop v2 cost?- Correct, the Start/Stop v2 will create their own resources and for sure it cost. if you have a cost concern than you need to use the auto-shutdown from each virtual machine blade or runbooks from the azure automation account which cheaper for sure
- With the azure automation account if It has a public ip is that an security issue?
