This runbook sets up a connection to an Azure virtual machine. It requires the Azure virtual machine to have the Windows Remote Management service enabled, which is the default. It sets up a connection to the Azure subscription and then imports the certificate used for the Azure VM so remote PowerShell calls can be made to it.

Automatically right sizes any Azure Windows VM based on configurable telemetry data to the optimal size based on cpu/mem, performance rating and cost. Use Get-Help set-vmRightSize or Get-Help set-rsgRightSize for more information on specific commands or check my blog.
