Delete a VM Extension (is faster from command-line)

Useful if you are troubleshooting or debugging VM Extensions.

az vm extension delete --vm-name VMName -g RGName --name ExtensionName

Resize a VM while its running

Ansible 2.5 azure_rm_virtualmachine module will not resize a running VM if you simply change its size. :(

Solution: Azure CLI

List the resize options:

az vm list-vm-resize-options --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myVM --output table

Resize:

az vm resize --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myVM --size Standard_B2s
