Pause idle resources
Scheduling
Automatically pause and resume non-production resources on a schedule,
so you stop paying for idle compute.
How it works
Pause idle resources on a schedule
that runs itself
Stop paying for non-production compute outside working hours,
with no manual steps once the schedule is set.
-
Pick the resources
Choose the non-production VMs, scale sets, and databases that sit idle outside working hours.
-
Set a schedule
Define when each resource should stop and start, by day and time or for whole weekends.
-
Let it run automatically
Turbo360 pauses and resumes resources on schedule, with no manual steps.
-
Watch the savings add up
Track the cost avoided from every paused hour.
A schedule in action
One trigger,
four off-hours
actions
At 7:00 PM the weekday schedule fires and Turbo360 runs the whole off-hours playbook, scaling each idle resource down so nothing keeps billing overnight.
How it helps you
What scheduling recovers
Stop paying for idle compute
Dev and test resources pause when nobody is using them.
Set it once
Schedules run automatically, so the saving needs no babysitting.
Real money back
Off-hours pauses cut non-production spend without touching production.
Not sure it can be scheduled?
Let the AI Scheduling Agent decide
whether to schedule a resource
Before you put a resource on a schedule, ask the agent. It reviews the resource and its real usage pattern, then tells you whether to
resize it or stop and start it, how feasible that is, and how confident it is in the call.
Reads the real usage pattern
The agent maps 14 days of hourly CPU as a share of the resource’s own peak, so it can see whether there is a genuine idle window to schedule around, not just an average.
Resize or stop and start
It weighs both levers for you. When usage never drops off it points you to rightsizing for a bigger, safer saving, instead of a start / stop schedule that would move the bill.
Feasibility and confidence, stated
Every call comes with a recommendation, a confidence level, and the reasoning behind it, so you only schedule the resources where the saving is real and the risk is low.
Impact tracker
How do we ensure our schedules are
making a difference
The Impact Tracker plots what each resource would cost running 24/7 against what it actually costs on a schedule. Watch spend
drop to a new optimized baseline, then prove it holds there month after month.
Drop to a new baseline
Scheduling pulls each resource down from its 24/7 cost to a far lower optimized baseline.
Hold the line
Actual cost is tracked against the 24/7 baseline every month, so you can see the reduction is maintained, not slipping back.
Savings you can prove
Every month shows the dollars and the percentage saved versus running around the clock.
