On Azure if you create a VM, by default it'll be set to auto shutdown at 7pm that night, I think you can turn it off but by default it's on to avoid billshock.

- YPPH 5y agoI don't recall this being the case from the time I tried Azure, and can't find anything about it in the documentation. It would leave many people wondering why their instance was turned off. Perhaps it is a feature of Azure Lab Services, and you were using that?
- jonathantf2 5y agoJust looked it up, apparently it's only happens with ARM (Azure Resource Manager) templates, I usually pick the Ubuntu or Windows server ones which is why it applies the autoshutdown rule.
- vladvasiliu 5y agoAs the sibling said, I don't remember seeing that. I don't usually use Azure, so when I last started a VM there a few months ago I didn't do any special config, and the VM kept on running forever, as expected. And there are no policies set up by someone else that I don't know about, we don't usually use Azure for VMs.
