Using Microsoft Copilot in Azure to find the best VM size for you
Please bring back the old tool. Copilot cannot give me prices. It gives me long lists of VM sizes and the price is usually the determining factor on which one to choose. I have to jump through hoops to pick VM sizes now, when it used to just take a few seconds to run a small bit of information through the old tool that would provide exactly what I needed very quickly. What used to take me less than a minute is now costing me a lot of time. I also asked Copilot for Azure to give me the VM Sizes with cost and it said it cannot do that. If you're going to make Copilot the only way to get VM sizes, then it at least needs to be able to drill into the results with more questions, and show costs on the results. It knows the subscription. It knows the region. There's no reason it can't get and show the costs next to the VM Sizes!
