Has anyone been successful in implementing a FinOps Cost Optimization policy to turn down idle cloud instances during off hours (nights/weekends)?  DId you start with non-prod environments?  How are you handling logging/monitoring alerts during that time?

Yes. We use TAG to define the schedule for resources. E.g. Schedule = 24x7, Schedule=BusinessHours on VM or App Service etc.. And then we use Azure Logic Apps or Azure Scheduler to start and shutdown as per Schedule tag value.

We adjust the alert rules accordingly as well to avoid false positives.
