Stop or Start all WebApps in your Azure subscription

Stop or Start all WebApps in your Azure subscription with Stop-Start-All-WebApps.ps1 a simple PowerShell workflow runbook that will help you automate the process of stopping or starting every single WebApp (Website) you’ve deployed.

The script receives two required parameters:

Stop: If set to true stop the WebApps (Websites) otherwise start the WebApps (Websites)
CredentialAssetName: The name of a valid Credential Asset (AutomationPSCredential) you must have previously configured.

As you can see below, the script is quite simple and uses the following PowerShell Activities and Cmdlets:

Type	Name	Description
Activity	Get-AutomationPSCredential	Gets a credential to use in a runbook or DSC configuration. Returns a System.Management.Automation.PSCredential object.
Cmdlet	Add-AzureAccount	Adds an authenticated account to use for Resource Manager cmdlet requests.
Cmdlet	Add-AzureRmAccount	Adds the Azure account to Windows PowerShell
Cmdlet	Get-AzureWebsite	Gets Azure websites in the current subscription
Cmdlet	Stop-AzureWebsite	Stops the specified webiste
Cmdlet	Start-AzureWebsite	Starts the specified webiste

Here is the script:
