How to Manage Azure Virtual Machines

March 30, 2025

Description

I've been working with PowerShell again and developed a useful script that lists all active Azure VMs, allowing you to choose which ones to shut down—no more manual effort! Whether you need to stop one, several, or all of them, this script will make it easy.

Features

Lists all active VMs along with their resource groups – Get a quick overview in just a few seconds.
Allows selection by number (e.g., "1,3") or by typing "all" – Flexible and easy to use.
Handles errors smoothly – No one wants the script to crash halfway through.


Prerequisites

PowerShell installed
Azure PowerShell module installed
Active Azure subscription
