# Azure Compute
Processes to manage Azure Compute services.
## Automated VM Vertical Scaling
Azure Alerts combined with two Azure Automation Runbooks using Webhooks provides a capability to vertically scale Virtual Machines based on CPU thresholds over a given window using a custom VM size table.
There are methods to do each of these tasks on their own. You could use the built-in Alert runbook to Scale Up or Scale Down a VM; however, the system sizes use marketplace sizing which may exceed cost parameters defined by your project (or your wallet).
#### Goal
Scale one or more monitored Virtual Machines up or down using a custom list of VM sizes.
#### Requirements
1. Azure Automation Account with Run As
2. Azure Runbook
3. Azure Virtual Machine(s)
4. Azure Alert
#### Resources
