evasse My understanding of this new feature is that it still needs to rely on the Azure virtual machines auto-shutdown feature. If I configure a machine to auto-shutdown at 17:00 as an example and a user is logged off said machine at 13:00, does this mean that the machine will remain running for an additional 4 hours before it is shut down? If so, this should be an enhancement request. I appreciate that some cost will still be saved as the machine will still shut down at 17:00 in my example, but further cost savings can be realized if the machine shuts down a few minutes after logoff.
Yes this feature only promises what it's name says. You still need to rely on the methods you apply to shut down your VMs.
