Remote Azure Execution FAQs

Question 1

How do I specify a specific Azure region for my task?

Accepted Answer

You can mention the region naturally in your prompt (e.g., 'run this in eastus' or 'use a westus2 VM'). The skill will automatically parse the region and apply the correct flag to the command.

Question 2

What happens to the code changes made on the remote VM?

Accepted Answer

Changes are stored in a specific git namespace (remote-exec/). The skill provides instructions on how to fetch these remote branches and merge the work back into your local repository.

Question 3

How does the skill determine the size of the Azure VM?

Accepted Answer

It analyzes your task description for keywords. 'Simple' or 'quick' tasks trigger a small VM (8GB RAM), while 'comprehensive' or 'intensive' tasks trigger large (128GB) or extra-large (256GB) instances. It defaults to a medium size for standard work.

Question 4

Are there security checks before code is sent to Azure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill includes error handling that blocks remote execution if hardcoded secrets are detected in the repository, recommending the use of .env files instead.

Question 5

Can I monitor the costs of the remote VMs?

Accepted Answer

The skill reminds you to monitor Azure costs using 'azlin list' and provides guidance on cleaning up resources with 'azlin kill' once tasks are complete.
