SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Route Azure VM and VMSS inquiries to targeted recommendation and troubleshooting workflows so users get accurate sizing, pricing, and connectivity guidance without deep Azure expertise.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workload-based Recommendations: Recommend VM families, sizes, and VMSS configurations for scenarios like web tiers, databases, GPU training, HPC, and dev/test environments.
  • Cost and Pricing Guidance: Provide pricing estimates and comparisons using retail pricing references to help choose cost-effective VM or VMSS options.
  • Connectivity Troubleshooting: Diagnose and remediate RDP/SSH failures, NSG/firewall issues, credential resets, and common reachability problems with step-by-step actions.
  • Use Case: Get a VM recommendation and cost estimate for a machine learning training workload or receive guided troubleshooting when an Azure VM becomes unreachable over RDP/SSH.

Quick Start

Recommend the best Azure VM size and cost estimate for a web application handling 500 concurrent users with moderate CPU and 8 GB RAM.
