Azure Dev Test Lab subscription for Auto shutdown VMs
Hi Sagar_Lad ,
This is not entirely correct. You don't need to create a DevTest lab resource to enable auto-shutdown for Azure VMs, but you need to provision a 'microsoft.devtestlab/schedules' resource that will enable this functionality.
As you can see, the schedule is coming from devtestlabs RP, so the only "dependency" is that this RP must be registered in your subscription and this service must be available in the region, where you deploy your VMs in Azure. You can then for instance extend your ARM template, like it is described in many places, for example here.
