Start

The Start operation is used to start an existing virtual machine in the Azure environment. This action is typically performed to power on a VM that has been stopped or deallocated.

Properties

Skiponerror: Specify the “Boolean” value as “True” or “False.”
True: Continue executing the workflow regardless of any errors thrown.
False: Halt the workflow if it encounters any errors.
None: If the option is left blank, the activity will, by default, behave as if “False” were chosen.

Notes

1. Ensure that the virtual machine is in a stopped or deallocated state before attempting to start it. If the VM is already running, this operation will have no effect.
