Question

Hello Team,

I am looking for an option to automate the Azure VM Snapshots, can you please help me with the docs/url with best practices?
The solution I came across is using Azure Automate, curious to know if we have better options.

There are different ways available to schedule a task in Azure. One of the methods is based on 'Azure Function App'. Create a Function App based on Runtime Stack as PowerShell Core with the suitable Power Shell code. In your case, there are several online examples available to help to create a snapshot using power shell.

Following reference I wrote for a different question, will help to create a Function App

Function App

You may need to create similar function app with a suitable PowerShell Code so that you can automate your snapshot tasks
