When It Triggers · How It Works · What It Produces

Breaks down how the skill works and what it produces, so you can quickly judge whether it fits your scenario and value.

Trigger

Triggered when users request "create VM", "recommend VM size", "configure VMSS", "set up autoscaling", or "capacity reservation".

Mechanism

Dedicated router for VM/VMSS requests, prioritized over generic Azure best practices MCP tool.
Uses dedicated MCP tools: compute_vm_list-skus, compute_vm_list-images, compute_vm_check-quota.
Coverage: VM creation (SKU recommendation, image selection, quota check), VMSS (Flexible/Uniform orchestration, autoscaling policies), capacity management (CRG, EMM).
Price comparison, performance analysis, and configuration guidance provided.

Outcome

Based on user needs: VM/VMSS creation config, SKU and price recommendations, scaling policies, or capacity reservation configuration.

Use Cases

Two Typical Use Cases

Scenario 01

VM Creation and SKU Recommendation

Developers or ops need to select the right VM for specific workloads and complete provisioning. The skill recommends VM series and SKUs based on workload type (web server, GPU ML, HPC simulation, dev/test), compares pricing and performance. Then queries available SKUs and images via MCP tools, checks quota, and completes VM provisioning.

Scenario 02

VMSS Autoscaling and Capacity Management

Platform engineers need to configure VMSS with autoscaling and capacity management. The skill guides orchestration mode selection (Flexible vs Uniform), autoscaling rule configuration (CPU/memory/custom metrics), capacity reservation (CRG) setup for guaranteed availability. Supports burstable instance (B-series) credit management and InfiniBand configuration for HPC workloads.
