  1. Hi Michelangelo,
    I am looking for a PHP code example to start/stop a VM on Azure. I have looked at the Azure-SDK-for-PHP, but do not see an example.

    As per your blog post - "If you need code samples, ping me. I’d love to share my knowledge."

    Regards Graham

    1. In most cases I use the "az" (Azure SDK for CLI) to manage my infrastructure on Azure (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/cli-manage), but if you want to integrate the functionality within a PHP application you can use the Azure-SDK-for-PHP library ServiceManager that controls your Azure services. I don't have a practical example for you, but it should not be too complicated to figure out the correct parameters. If in doubt, have a look at REST API documentation for the VM commands at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/compute/virtualmachines/start.

      If you have figured it out, please share your findings on your blog and let me know the link. I love to refer back to it.
