Ensure that automatic idle shutdown is enabled for your Azure Machine Learning compute instances. This prevents billing for idle compute resources, ensuring maximum efficiency and significant cost savings.
optimisation
By preemptively terminating compute instances that have remained unused for a specified duration, the idle shutdown feature drastically reduces costs on idle, non-productive compute time, therefore eliminating unnecessary billing cycles and minimizing overall operational costs.
If prompt flow runtimes are configured on your compute instances, idle shutdown will not occur.
Audit
To determine if automatic idle shutdown is enabled for your Azure Machine Learning compute instances, perform the following operations:
Remediation / Resolution
To enable and configure automatic idle shutdown for your Azure Machine Learning compute instances, perform the following operations:
Enabling automatic idle shutdown for Machine Learning compute instances using the Azure Command Line Interface (Azure CLI) is not currently supported.References
