Right before shutting down the VM, I would like to shut down certain windows services(in the same VM) our application using(graceful shut down). Is there an event in Azure VM that I can hook a powershell script to, so that it executes before shutting down the VM?

The current solution is to keep a schedule for Services shut down and then another schedule to shut down VM(every day). But when we need to deploy in between, then this approach fails.

I have a solution for this is you intend to use Automation Account for shutting down the VM. – Daniel Björk Aug 21 '20 at 06:56
If you meant schedule then it is already done. The question is more about hooking up the shut down event so that it can shutdown anytime(outside the schedule) – Blue Clouds Aug 21 '20 at 07:20
