 The Start/Stop VMs during off-hours feature start or stops enabled Azure VMs. It starts or stops machines on user-defined schedules, provides insights through Azure Monitor logs, and sends optional emails by using [action groups](../azure-monitor/alerts/action-groups.md). The feature can be enabled on both Azure Resource Manager and classic VMs for most scenarios.

 In Azure Automation, you can enable the Update Management, Change Tracking and Inventory, and Start/Stop VMs during off-hours features for your servers and virtual machines. These features have a dependency on a Log Analytics workspace, and therefore require linking the workspace with an Automation account. However, only certain regions are supported to link them together. In general, the mapping is *not* applicable if you plan to link an Automation account to a workspace that won't have these features enabled.
 
 The mappings discussed here apply only to linking the Log Analytics Workspace to an Automation account. They do not apply to the virtual machines (VMs) that are connected to the workspace that's linked to the Automation Account. VMs aren't limited to the regions supported by a given Log Analytics workspace. They can be in any region. Keep in mind that having the VMs in a different region may affect state, local, and country regulatory requirements, or your company's compliance requirements. Having VMs in a a different region could also introduce data bandwidth charges.
