## Right size calculations
88+
89+
The calculation for recommending that you should right-size or shut down underutilized virtual machines in Azure Government is as follows:
90+
91+
- Advisor monitors your virtual machine usage for seven days and identifies low-utilization virtual machines.
92+
- Virtual machines are considered low utilization if their CPU utilization is 5% or less and their network utilization is less than 2%, or if the current workload can be accommodated by a smaller virtual machine size.
93+
94+
If you want to be more aggressive at identifying underutilized virtual machines, you can adjust the CPU utilization rule on a per subscription basis.
95+
96+
