VM Instance Scheduler
I am coming from Google Cloud and google cloud had a feature called instance scheduler which allows an individual to setup the vm instance for auto stop and start. Is this possible in linode vloud environment?

Stopping and starting your instance is currently a manual process. Additionally, the way Linode billing works, even if your instance is powered off, you will be charged for an active but unused service. In order to save on cost, your instance will need to be deleted, which is also a manual process.
