Azure Compute
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, can't connect / RDP / SSH, refused, black screen, reset password, reach VM, port 3389, NSG, security, Linux, troubleshoot, troubleshooting, connectivity, 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 **can't connect** to a VM (RDP / SSH / port refused / black screen / password reset) - 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 ``` Azure compute intent? ├── Recommend / compare / price a VM or VMSS → VM Recommender ├── Create / provision / deploy a VM or VMSS → VM Creator ├── Can't connect / RDP / SSH / port refused → VM Troubleshooter ├── Reserve / guarantee capacity (CRG) → Capacity Reservation ├── Machine enrollment / Essential Machine Management → Essential Machine Management └── Unclear → Ask which of the above ``` **Routing rule:** read the matched workflow file before any reference file. The workflow owns the step-by-step guidance; references are looked up on demand. ## Workflows | Workflow | File | Use when | |---|---|---| | **VM Recommender** | [vm-recommender.md](workflows/vm-recommender/vm-recommender.md) | User asks which VM/VMSS to choose, wants pricing, or wants to compare options | | **VM Creator** | [vm-creator.md](workflows/vm-creator/vm-creator.md) | User wants to provision a bare VM or VMSS (not an app deployment) | | **VM Troubleshooter** | [vm-troubleshooter.md](workflows/vm-troubleshooter/vm-troubleshooter.md) | User can't connect, RDP/SSH refused, black screen, needs password reset | | **Capacity Reservation** | [capacity-reservation.md](workflows/capacity-reservation/capacity-reservation.md) | User needs to reserve / guarantee VM capacity (CRG create / associate / disassociate) | | **Essential Machine Management** | [essential-machine-management.md](workflows/essential-machine-management/essential-machine-management.md) | User asks about EMM / machine enrollment / monitor |
