Powershell cmdlet to gracefully shutdown azure virtual machine
I am having questions around the "Stop-AzureRmVm" PowerShell cmdlet. Does the cmdlet power crash the virtual machines? I have few SharePoint and SQL servers used in our non-production environment. I have powershell scripts that do a scheduled stop and start of these virtual machines.
I am worried if the "Stop-AzureRmVm" PowerShell cmdlet power crashes the virtual machines, as I need the servers to gracefully shutdown.
OR do we have any PowerShell cmdlet that gracefully shuts down the Azure virtual machine?

As long as you are not sending the -force parameter, Azure will attempt to gracefully shutdown the guest OS before stopping. If that doesn't work, the -force parameter is akin to "pulling the plug".

If you catch the request of the Stop-AzureRmVm and the Stop option of the VM in the portal, you will find essentially they all call the Virtual Machines - Deallocate REST API, it means if you use the powershell command, it is no difference with that in the portal.
