What is your experience with Start VM on connect. Share your voice!
Hi Community :)!
If you remember I announced a while ago public preview of start VM on connect. As you had some time to explore the feature, let me know what you think.
Please answer this...

evasse Hi Eva, I have just tested this out on personal WVD Hostpool and it works great, I timed the start-up multiple times takes less than a minute for the VM to come up.
My question is regarding the cost now saving this is making. When I shutdown the WVD it goes to Stop state and not Stopped De-allocated State, Does that mean I am still getting charged for the consumption costs as explained here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtual-desktop/must-read-wvd-personal-vm-proper-shutdown-process-and-deallocate/m-p/2377241
If this is the case and I am able to implement Azure Automation to Stop and de-allocate the VM, will the Start ON connect still work as expected?
