terraform-azurerm_vm_stop_start

Simple Terraform module for setting VM start and stop schedules in Azure using Azure Automation. An explanation of how this all the pieces fit together is available in this blog post.

Usage

This script uses Simple-Azure-VM-Start-Stop Powershell script under the hood.

Simple usage:

module "automation" {
  source                           = "github.com/Puppet-Finland/terraform-azurerm_vm_stop_start"
  automation_account_name          = "development"
  user_assigned_identity_name      = "my-managed-identity"
  resource_group_location          = azurerm_resource_group.main.location
  resource_group_name              = azurerm_resource_group.main.name
  subscription_id                  = data.azurerm_subscription.current.id
  target_resource_group_name       = "development-rg"
  vmname                           = "testvm"
}

The "vmname" parameter accepts the name of a single VM. If special value * is provided, then all VMs in the target_resource_group will be affected.

If you want to use a built-in "Virtual Machine Contributor" instead of the more limited, custom role definition, then set manage_role_definition to false:

module "automation" {
  --- snip ---
  manage_role_definition = false
  manage_role_assignment = false
  --- snip ---
}
