Automatic start and shutdown cloud hosted VM

 Most of the time our development VM running without use and that cause additional cost.

We can save the cost when VM is not in use we can shutdown and when we want to use we can turn on.
We have many ways to start and stop VM to save cost.

One of the way I will share in this topic. using this we can schedule automatically start and stop of VM using task.

A. Automatically start the VM

    1.       Login https://portal.azure.com/
    
    2.       Go to Automation --> Tasks(Preview) --> Add task 

    3.       Click on Start virtual machine

     5.        Click on configure and create the task name, VM start time, time zone etc.

                If you want outlook notification related to VM start, mark yes to Notify me option.

Note: Before shutdown VM, we will receive email notification and from there if we want to extend or skip
      VM timing we can do that.
