Azure Function for Bulk Resource Management - Stop and Start in Order

Learn how to create an Azure Function that can bulk stop and start Azure resources in a specified order based on priority tags. This 17-minute tutorial covers querying resource graphs, loading custom modules, defining functions called by Azure Functions, and using timers. Explore techniques for listing resources using resource graph queries, expanding priority tags, adding custom modules, and setting up timer triggers. Gain insights into changing Function timeouts, importing custom modules, defining custom functions, and enabling managed identities with required permissions. Walk through the code implementation for each Function and understand how to effectively manage Azure resources at scale.
