Set-AzureVMSize

Sets the size of a Windows Azure virtual machine.

Parameter Set: Default
Set-AzureVMSize [-InstanceSize] <String> -VM <IPersistentVM> [ <CommonParameters>]

This topic describes the cmdlet in the .6.19 version of the Windows Azure PowerShell module. To find out the version of the module you're using, from the Windows Azure PowerShell console, type (get-module azure).version.

The Set-AzureVMSize cmdlet updates the size of a Virtual Machine. It has two parameters: "InstanceSize", which is the new size of the virtual machine, and "VM", which is a virtual machine object retrieved by using the Get-AzureVM cmdlet. The result of Set-AzureVMSize can be piped to the Update-AzureVM cmdlet or stored in a variable for later use. No actual change is made until you run Update-AzureVM.

Note: This cmdlet will require the virtual machine to be re-provisioned and it might get a new IP address.

Specifies the size of the reprovisioned virtual machine. For a list of virtual machine sizes, see Virtual Machine Sizes for Windows Azure.
