Azure VM/VMSS router. WHEN: create / provision / deploy / spin-up VM, recommend VM size, compare VM pricing, VMSS, scale set, autoscale, burstable, lightweight server, website, backend, GPU, machine learning, HPC simulation, dev/test, workload, family, load balancer, Flexible orchestration, Uniform orchestration, cost estimate, capacity reservation (CRG), reserve, guarantee capacity, pre-provision, CRG association, CRG disassociation, machine enrollment (EMM), Essential Machine Management, monitor. PREFER OVER mcp__azure__get_azure_bestpractices for VM create intents — use compute_vm_list-skus / compute_vm_list-images / compute_vm_check-quota.

Azure Compute Skill

Routes Azure VM and Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) requests to the right workflow.

When to Use This Skill

  • User wants to recommend, compare, or price a VM or VMSS
  • User wants to create, provision, or deploy a VM or VMSS
  • User asks about Capacity Reservation Groups (CRG) — reserve, guarantee capacity, pre-provision
  • User asks about Essential Machine Management (EMM) — machine enrollment, monitor

Disambiguate with azure-prepare: if the user wants to deploy an application (Docker service, web app, API, serverless workload), route to azure-prepare. vm-creator is for bare VM/VMSS infrastructure only.

Routing

Mandatory workflow-first routing: never route directly to references/* files. First classify the user intent below, open the matched workflow file, then load only the reference files that workflow requests. Reference files are supporting material, not entry points. If the intent is unclear, ask a clarifying question to disambiguate between the workflows.

Workflow File Use when
VM Recommender vm-recommender.md User asks which VM/VMSS to choose, whether to use VMSS/autoscaling, wants pricing, or wants to compare options
VM Creator vm-creator.md User wants to create, provision, or deploy a bare VM or VMSS (not an app deployment)
Capacity Reservation capacity-reservation.md User needs to reserve / guarantee VM capacity (CRG create / associate / disassociate)
Essential Machine Management essential-machine-management.md User asks about EMM / machine enrollment / monitor

What it does

Routes Azure VM and Virtual Machine Scale Set requests to five specialized workflows: VM recommendation and pricing, VM creation and provisioning, troubleshooting connectivity issues, capacity reservation, and machine enrollment. Use this skill when a user needs to size/compare VMs, deploy bare infrastructure, fix RDP/SSH access, or manage capacity reservations on Azure.

Generated from the current SKILL.md.

Frequently asked

Does this skill handle application deployments like Docker or web apps?
No. This skill routes bare VM and VMSS infrastructure requests only. For deploying applications (Docker services, web apps, APIs, serverless workloads), use the azure-prepare skill instead.
What VM connectivity issues does this skill cover?
It covers RDP/SSH connection failures, port refused errors, black screen issues, and password resets. Use the VM Troubleshooter workflow when a user can't connect to an existing VM.
Can this skill help me choose the right VM size and pricing?
Yes. The VM Recommender workflow recommends VM sizes, compares options, and estimates costs based on workload requirements (web, backend, GPU, HPC, dev/test, etc.).
Does this skill support Capacity Reservation Groups?
Yes. It includes a dedicated workflow for creating, associating, and disassociating Capacity Reservation Groups to guarantee and pre-provision VM capacity.
