What is Microsoft Copilot for Azure and how can it help you?

Since the end of November, Microsoft has been announcing Microsoft copilot for Azure, something similar to the service we discussed in the article Copilot for Windows, only as a specialist on Azure.

More precisely, a virtual assistant based on Artificial Intelligence that can help you manage your infrastructure faster and more efficiently. An assistant that understands and helps you manage all resources in Azure.

A premature observation: it does not replace the colleague in the IT department, but helps him to be more efficient and faster.

So, what can he do?

• Design – assistance in creating and configuring services.
• Operation – answers questions and manages resources.
• Troubleshooting – understands problems and proposes solutions.
• Optimization – increases efficiency, decreases costs, etc.

Some concrete scenarios?

1) We can quickly find out the status of certain resources. For example, when a certain virtual machine was created.

2) We can find out information about costs. For example, we can ask him:

• What is the resource that consumed the most yesterday?.
• Why did consumption increase this week?.

But let's also ask for information about

• next month's consumption if we add 3 more virtual machines.
• How can we reduce the cost of a virtual machine:

3) We can request custom graphics to show us

For example: loading on certain resources during certain periods.

4) It can help us generate CLI scripts with which to push multiple commands.
