Here you will find a button to either enable or disable auto-shutdown for this particular virtual machine. If you click On under the Enable button, the other configuration controls will be enabled:
- Scheduled Shutdown: Here you will specify what time the shutdown will happen in the HH:MM:SS format.
- Time Zone: Specify the time zone you are referring to in Scheduled Shutdown. It’s easy to not notice that this is set to UTC by default.
- Send Notification Before Auto-Shutdown: Would you like to send a message or trigger an action before the machine shuts down?
- Webhook URL: If you want something to happen in sync with the machine being shut down, then you can provide the URL of an Azure Automation (or some other system) webhook.
- Email Address: Provide an email address (maybe a distribution list or monitoring system) that will be notified ahead of the shutdown.
