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.

Mode A — Print in chat

Default. Render fenced code blocks for each file, in this order:

  1. Bicep: main.bicep + the az deployment group create command at the bottom
  2. Terraform: main.tf + variables.tf (separate fenced blocks) + the terraform init && terraform apply command
  3. bash: the single script

Append a one-liner reminder: "Want me to save this to disk or open a PR? Just ask." — so the user can shift to Mode B/C without restarting.

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.
