Hello.
Is there a way to automatically shut down a virtual machine when CPU usage is below a certain level? I wonder if GPO has this policy.
Also, I'm currently configuring it with Automation, but it's not working well, so I have relevant configuration data

Azure Monitor

Azure Automation

    Azure Monitor tracks VM utilization. Azure Monitor can call an action group. One action group activity option is a logic app. So you could trigger a logic app using an Azure Monitor alert that would shut down an underutilized VM. I recommend querying for resource utilization over time rather than a flat threshold.
