# Azure VMs

Sedai intelligently recommends optimizations for your VMs. These recommendations are made for individual virtual machines VMs, as well as VMs grouped by load balancers or tags.

## Cost Optimization for Individual VMs

Sedai helps reduce your costs for individual VMs by generating recommendations to switch **instance types**. Proposed changes will reduce your average monthly spend and on-demand costs, as well as optimize CPU and memory usage.

While autonomous mode is not supported for Individual VM recommendations, you can review VM optimization opportunities in the **Optimization > Opportunities** page and submit recommendations for execution.

## Cost Optimization for Grouped VMs

Sedai detects VMs grouped by either load balancers or cloud provider tags and generates recommendations to decrease costs. This is achieved by switching Instance Types; Sedai may suggest changing instance types within a VM group based on workload and utilization patterns.

Autonomous execution is not currently supported for VM groups but will be available soon. Until then, you can make changes in the Azure console.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sedai.io/get-started/platform/optimization/azure/azure-vms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
