Hi Team,

Thanks in advance.

    You can use Azure automation to start/stop VM during off hours.
    Please refer to this document and let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi @Venu Sunkara

    I don't see any Azure policy for this requirement. However there is Auto turn off option, but again auto start option is not available.

    Azure Virtual Machine auto-shutdown

    Also there was similar feedback for this requirement where MS suggests to use Automation option.

    Ability to turn ON and OFF virtual machines based on a schedule

    You need to associate Tags with VM and create an automation process that will look for these tags and their values for shutting down VM's and restarting them again.
