- Advisor determines if a workload is user-facing by analyzing its CPU utilization characteristics. The approach is based on findings by Microsoft Research.

- Based on the best fit and the cheapest costs with no performance impacts, Advisor not only recommends smaller SKUs in the same family (for example D3v2 to D2v2), but also SKUs in a newer version (for example D3v2 to D2v3), or a different family (for example D3v2 to E3v2).

The result is a recommendation that suggests that the user resizes their current virtual machine or virtual machine scale sets to a burstable SKU with the same number of cores. This helps to take advantage of the low costs and the fact that the workload has low average utilization but high spikes in cases, which can be best served by the B-series SKU.

The resulting recommendation suggests that a user should resize their current virtual machine or virtual machine scale set to a burstable SKU with the same number of cores. This suggestion is made so a user can take advantage of lower cost and also the fact that the workload has low average utilization but high spikes in cases, which can be best served by the B-series SKU.

Advisor shows the estimated cost savings for either recommended action: resize or shut down. For resize, Advisor provides current and target SKU/instance count information.

To be more selective about the actioning on underutilized virtual machines or virtual machine scale sets, you can adjust the CPU utilization rule on a per-subscription basis.
