Schedule the Start of a VM in Azure

Background:

I used to carry my own personal laptop all around the place, customers, conferences, libraries, etc. In order to have my tool of choice for work. As things have become mobile, the need for a physical device most of the time seems to be unnecessary.

And with the availability of almost "unlimited" resources in the Cloud, I can easily have my own workstation and connect to it wherever I am, whenever I need to.

Having a remote resource hosted in the Cloud has some implications:

Cost: I really don't need that much of power, just the standard tools - Office, Visio, Visual Studio, Powershell and the occasional Wireshark, Fiddler, etc. But still has a cost implication
Patches and updates: Just as any other physical workstation it does require management
Turning ON and OFF: In order to keep costs under control, I need to run this resource as needed, there's no point to have it ON during the weekends or after midnight
A local computer to perform a Remote Desktop Connection to the VM in the Cloud. Again, as I have an almost zero policy for carrying computers and tablets, I have a Surface RT at the Office.

Based on these considerations I decided to run a Windows 10 Pro on Azure, a 2 Core, 16 GB RAM with 125 GB of Disk, not SSD as it's more expensive and Word doesn't run faster on it. It's a Standard D11 in the VM Definition Size
