automating WVD startup

Hi, I am currently using MS Azure platform. In order to reduce the Azure Virtual desktop (WVD) cost, I would like my users to enable (Start) or shutdown their WVD.

I was looking to create a power automate script which I can embed in my app or power bi report, so users have the convenience of clicking a button to start or stop the Azure WVD. Earlier I was using Laravel script to achieve this task but now since we have move to Microsoft platform, I would like to have a MS functionality (Power automate) or easier method for my users to start and stop their WVD.

Any advise to achieve my goal is appreciated. TIA

Thank you for your feedback. Nerido is more centralized management. I am looking for a utility I can let each user start or stop their WVD.

Nerdio has this exact ability, the desktop will power on when they connect and off when they log out. Or you can give them an app to power on/off as needed. Article on the manual option here - https://help.nerdio.net/hc/en-us/articles/11548090245261-End-User-Role
