Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

You can create a recurrence step, configure the schedule in which you would like to start the VM
Search for "Azure Virtual Machine" --> Start Virtual Machine as a step
Select the Authentication mechanism (OAuth / Managed Identity)
Once Authenticated, select the subscription Id, Resource Group Name and Virtual Machine

Hello Ian,

If you are looking for robust solution, there is a complete solution available from Microsoft, combining Logic Apps and Function Apps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/start-stop-vms/deploy

It can perform start and stop operations at scale for a collection of VMs that span subscriptions, and it is using schedule as the trigger.
