Automatically start lab VMs with autostart in Azure DevTest Labs

Feedback

In this article

This article shows how to configure and apply an autostart policy for Azure DevTest Labs virtual machines (VMs). Autostart automatically starts up lab VMs at specified times and days.

To implement autostart, you first configure an autostart policy for the lab. You can then enable the policy for individual lab VMs. Requiring individual VMs to enable autostart helps prevent unnecessary startups that could increase costs.

You can also configure autoshutdown policies for lab VMs. For more information, seeConfigure autoshutdown for lab VMs in DevTest Labs.
