Azure Compute

microsoft/github-copilot-for-azureOfficial

The azure-compute skill routes Azure Virtual Machine and VM Scale Set requests to specialized workflows based on user intent. It directs users seeking VM recommendations, sizing, pricing, and autoscale guidance to the VM Recommender workflow, while routing those experiencing connectivity issues like RDP/SSH failures or NSG problems to the VM Troubleshooter workflow. This skill solves the problem of determining the correct support path for Azure compute infrastructure questions and troubleshooting scenarios.

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.
