Need to more number of VMs at a time (for patching activity)

Question

Hi,

This is chandra and tried to explore my self in devops and iam a frsher.

As apart of patching activity i want to start or stop large number of machine at a time.

Means if to push the patch i want to start 50 vms manually through console. After patch ends i want to stop the vms manually.

Is there any automation that we can do to stop or start the vms at at time.

Hi @CHANDRA SEKHAR ,

one option is to do this with an Azure Automation runbook.
Maybe this article will help to get started: https://www.sanganakauthority.com/2017/07/start-stop-multiple-azure-vms-on.html
