 While the architecture of Azure Local VMs is designed to be managed by the Azure control plane, these VMs can also be managed by on-premises local tools.

Only the following operations when performed using local tools will update the state of the Azure Local VM in the portal: Changing the size of VM memory, vCPU count, change the power state status (Start/Stop VM) resulting from power cycle operation.
