Deploy VM shutdown when idle? #199

Open TonyWildish-BH opened 1 week ago

Review that the auto-shutdown of idle VMs is working.
Assess the impact on the user

The impact assessment means:

When a machine is shut down through being idle, how does the UI represent that?
Can the user restart the VM from the UI?

If the user can work with this without problems, that's great. If not, more tickets will be needed to allocate the work to fix it, and priorities decided, depending on the level of inconvenience.

The UI fetches the status of the VM from Azure and not from COSMOS. So the power status of the machine correctly reflects on the UI.
Yes, a user can control the VM from the UI.

These will need to be tested for satisfactory approval

Apply a logic that fetches the tag of the machine to be shut down. If the tag says "Don't shut me down" then do not shut it down... This is a feature extension of the existing solution.
