Desired vm sku size remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

Using Python

To check for desired VM SKU size misconfiguration in Azure using Python, you can use Azure SDK for Python. The following steps can be followed to remediate this issue:

Install the Azure SDK for Python using pip:

pip install azure-mgmt-compute

Import the necessary libraries:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient

Authenticate to Azure using the DefaultAzureCredential:

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
subscription_id = '<your-subscription-id>'
compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

Get the list of virtual machines in the specified resource group:

resource_group_name = '<your-resource-group-name>'
vm_list = compute_client.virtual_machines.list(resource_group_name)

For each virtual machine in the list, check if the SKU size matches the desired size:

desired_size = '<your-desired-size>'
for vm in vm_list:
    if vm.hardware_profile.vm_size != desired_size:
        # Update the VM SKU size
        vm.hardware_profile.vm_size = desired_size
        async_vm_update = compute_client.virtual_machines.create_or_update(
            resource_group_name, vm.name, vm)
        async_vm_update.wait()

The above code will update the SKU size of the virtual machine to the desired size if it doesn’t match. You can run this code periodically to ensure that all virtual machines have the desired SKU size.

Note: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to update the SKU size of the virtual machines.
