启动和停止Azure虚拟机

Question

I need to start / stop a Azure virtual machine, but I don't know how I can do this. I don't know anything about Azure or Azure scripts.

Answer 1

You have several options.

The first one is by using the Azure Portal. Click on your VM and at the bottom you should see a button to stop the virtual machine. Starting it again works the same way.

The second option is to use PowerShell. John McCabe has posted a simple script on his blog to do this. The most important functions are Start-AzureVM and Stop-AzureVM .

If you want to automate this from a developer perspective (which needs a little bit more work than the PowerShell solution) is by using the Azure Management Libraries. Brady Gaster wrote a great post about it.

The fourth option is to use Microsoft Azure Automation . There you create runbooks for common tasks. In the samples are scripts already included which can start and stop a VM.

Answer 2

within the Azure portal (I would recommend using the new portal), go into the VM you need, on the dashboard you will see a Stop and Start button, or you can choose to Restart the VM. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You can also create a Timer-triggered Azure Function to start/stop your VM. I've provided the steps here:

Azure Function role like permissions to Stop Azure Virtual Machines

Instead of creating HTTP-triggered Functions, just use Timer-triggered functions instead and edit the PowerShell script content to hardcode the vmname and resourcegroup.
