azure-compute

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	User asks which VM/VMSS to choose, wants pricing, or wants to compare options
VM Creator	vm-creator.md	User wants to provision a bare VM or VMSS (not an app deployment)
VM Troubleshooter	vm-troubleshooter.md	User can't connect, RDP/SSH refused, black screen, needs password reset
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
