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.

WorkflowFileUse when
VM Recommendervm-recommender.mdUser asks which VM/VMSS to choose, whether to use VMSS/autoscaling, wants pricing, or wants to compare options
VM Creatorvm-creator.mdUser wants to create, provision, or deploy a bare VM or VMSS (not an app deployment)
Capacity Reservationcapacity-reservation.mdUser needs to reserve / guarantee VM capacity (CRG create / associate / disassociate)
Essential Machine Managementessential-machine-management.mdUser asks about EMM / machine enrollment / monitor

Set up AI Runway on AKS — from bare cluster to running model. Covers cluster verification, controller install, GPU assessment, provider setup, and first deployment. WHEN: "setup AI Runway", "onboard AKS cluster", "install AI Runway", "airunway setup", "deploy model to AKS", "GPU inference on AKS", "KAITO setup on AKS", "run LLM on AKS", "vLLM on AKS", "set up model serving on AKS", "AI Runway controller".

Diagnose Day-2 AKS GPU and KAITO incidents using profile-aware, read-only evidence. WHEN: 'Insufficient nvidia.com/gpu', GPU pod Pending, model-load OOM, DCGM/VRAM, KAITO Workspace not ready, or GPU autoscaling. DO NOT USE FOR: setup (airunway-aks-setup), non-GPU incidents (aks-troubleshooting), standalone VM quota (azure-quotas), or generic cost (cost-analysis or cost-optimization from the optional azure-cost plugin).

Lookup documented AKS fixes only when the prompt includes an exact catalog signature and all of its qualifiers: VMCannotFitEphemeralOSDisk; NodePoolMcVersionIncompatible; 'NodeImageVersion is not accepted'; AKS SkuNotAvailable with size, location, and zone; ZonalAllocationFailed with insufficient zone capacity; OverconstrainedAllocationRequest with listed constraints; nested AKS vmssCSE/CSE VMExtensionError_OutboundConnFail, VMExtensionError_K8SAPIServerConnFail, or VMExtensionError_K8SAPIServerDNSLookupFail; or AllocationFailed with the full cataloged internal-error or insufficient-regional-capacity message. Never use for quota errors, code-only or bare wrappers, generic symptoms, incomplete signatures, or failures outside AKS; use aks-troubleshooting or azure-diagnostics.

Collects bounded packet captures from AKS nodes and Azure network configuration for wire-level evidence. WHEN: "capture packets on an AKS node", "take a pcap", "run tcpdump on AKS", "prove where packets drop". Use for explicit packet-capture intent after read-only diagnostics, not general AKS connectivity or ingress troubleshooting.

Debug live Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) incidents with a read-only, evidence-first investigation. WHEN: pod crashes or Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, node NotReady, DNS or ingress failure, connectivity timeout, network policy, SNAT exhaustion, node-pool scaling blocked by QuotaExceeded or InsufficientVCPUQuota, upgrade stuck, spot or zone disruption, a bare VMExtensionProvisioningError or AllocationFailed wrapper, an uncataloged capacity symptom, or 'investigate my AKS cluster'. DO NOT USE FOR: packet capture (use aks-network-capture); GPU or model-serving issues (use aks-gpu-inference); cluster creation or provisioning (use azure-kubernetes); cost (use cost-analysis from the optional azure-cost plugin); pod rightsizing (use azure-kubernetes); a fully qualified documented AKS signature with every required nested qualifier (use aks-known-issues); standalone failures on non-AKS Azure resources (use azure-diagnostics). Unqualified errors and open-ended incidents stay here only for AKS.
