title: Azure Staging environment infrastructure - can i put it on hold?
body: <p>in Azure i have two subscriptions, 1 for Produciton, 1 for Staging.
  the staging environment is an exact replica of staging and is used in our development pipeline. however we don't use it all the time.</p>
  
  <p>is anybody aware of a way to "shut down" or "put on hold" azure infrastructure in a staging subscription and then re-activate it when we want to use it?</p>
  
  <p>simply an approach to keep costs down on an occasional use environment?</p>
  
  <p>both prod and staging are up and running, not sure how to "suspend" staging</p>
