Azure Compute Skill

Routes Azure VM requests to the appropriate workflow based on user intent.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

• Asks about Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) or VM Scale Sets (VMSS)
• Asks about choosing a VM, VM sizing, pricing, or cost estimates
• Needs a workload-based recommendation for scenarios like database, GPU, deep learning, HPC, web tier, or dev/test
• Mentions VM families, autoscale, load balancing, or Flexible versus Uniform orchestration
• Wants to troubleshoot Azure VM connectivity issues such as unreachable VMs, RDP/SSH failures, black screens, NSG/firewall issues, or credential resets
• Uses prompts like "Help me choose a VM"
