Beginner / fast-path

Goal: get to a working Plan Card in ≤ 2 questions, then show defaults and let the user edit.

# Question Default if skipped
1 "What region? I can recommend if you're not sure." eastus
2 "Linux or Windows? Default is Ubuntu 24.04." Ubuntu2404 (Linux)

Silent defaults (show in Plan Card, don't ask)

  • Size: Standard_D2s_v5 (2 vCPU / 8 GB)
  • Auth: SSH key from ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (Linux) — read the file; ask only if missing
  • VNet: create new <vm-name>-vnet with 10.0.0.0/16
  • Subnet: default with 10.0.0.0/24
  • NSG: create new, allow SSH 22 (Linux) or RDP 3389 (Windows) from the user's current public IP (detect via curl -s ifconfig.me or equivalent) — only fall back to * if detection fails, and always flag the chosen source in the Plan Card with a ⚠ so the user can edit before apply
  • Public IP: Standard SKU, dynamic
  • OS disk: 30 GB Premium SSD
  • Zone: none (regional)

If the user is in a region you haven't validated, call compute_vm_list-skus to confirm Standard_D2s_v5 is available there before locking it in. If not, fall back to whatever the recommender suggests.

    This skill provides a comprehensive and secure workflow for provisioning Azure Virtual Machines and Scale Sets. It follows security best practices by recommending SSH keys over passwords, restricting network access to the user's public IP, and ensuring secrets are handled as parameters rather than hardcoded values.
