A list of VM sizes only tells you half the story. An AKS node, an application server and a vendor appliance can all run on an older VM series, but each one needs a very different migration plan. Before picking a target size, you need to know what each VM does, who manages it and what must be checked before it can move.
Running an Azure VM on an older SKU generation, hitting quota limits, or simply looking for an alternative size? The new alternative-vm-sku command in Azure Quick Review (azqr) makes it trivial to discover compatible alternatives for any Azure VM SKU ranked by a multi-factor compatibility score.
Whether you’re modernizing workloads, responding to quota constraints, or optimizing costs, having a ranked list of compatible SKU alternatives removes the guesswork from VM size selection.
