Schedule starting and stopping of container

Question

Schedule starting and stopping of container

Sean Muir 1

We have some containers which are running and would like to automate starting and stopping them to limit the availability to business hours

Is that possible - I was unsuccessful in finding an example

thanks

Sean

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.
You can use the logic app to schedule the start and stop of a container. The blog explains how to do it. https://wp.sjkp.dk/schedule-start-stop-of-azure-container-instances/

I am following the example to do the exact same thing but initially got an error:

No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'https://provider-westeurope.console.azure.com/providers/api/subscriptions/.../resourcegroups/.../providers/Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups/.../Start My ACI?x-ms-api-version=2018-10-01&api-version=2018-10-01'

This defect appeared to be due to either using the wrong Action Name or that the Resource Group used for the Logic App itself was not the same as the location of the target Container. I did specify this during logic app creation but the app appeared in its own group before I changed it.

I also changed the API version to 2021-09-01

The container started but was in a Waiting state for a short while. Logs indicated everything working correctly at this time.
