So this is just sharing my long time azure automation script to start/stop a vm. I have this on a schedule so it starts on weekdays in the morning and is shutdown in the evening. There’s also a couple of webhooks so I can start/shutdown using my phone.
The latest addition is integrating push notifications to my phone - I have a Pushover which offers a nice api to send push notifications to your devices.
Note that to set this up, you will have to set up a user in Azure AD and add those credentials to automation assets.
I absolutely love the push notifications :)
