Research direction

Start with the linked scheduled start-and-stop deployment documentation and inspect the existing Logic App and Function App configuration. Determine whether separate Logic Apps can trigger the Function App with different schedules and whether a user-assigned managed identity is supported; document the supported configuration or the required implementation scope.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There are two questions about VM start/stop V2 solution. Very appreciate that if someone has insights on it.
We're trying to customize the VM start/stop V2 solution by below two requirements.

  1. Use VM start/stop V2 solution to start/stop the VMs in multiple subscriptions but with different schedules, however we do not see the option to add multiple schedules in the logic app created among with this solution. Can a new logic app be integrated with this solution to be triggered by the same Function app?

  2. Use of user assigned managed identity instead of the system assigned identity for function app

Assessment from my view:
Cosulting with Logic App, the Logic App (non-standard) only support one workflow one Recurrence (scheduler), you could view it from Logic app designer. Hence, if multiple schedulers are required, we need to create a separated new Logic App for each scheduler.

But I’m not sure about if it’s supported to add new Logic App into existing Start/Stop VMs v2 solution to trigger existing Function App and whether it’s supported to use User-assigned managed identity to replace the default system-assigned managed identity.

I found the workaround is to configure request body to assign multiple subscriptions to manage VMs across different subscriptions in the Logic App. But we still preferred to use different schedules (different Logic Apps) to manage VMs across multiple subscriptions.
