Answer 1

Thanks for reaching Microsoft Q&A.

To resolve high CPU utilization:

1. Identify the Cause: Use Azure Monitor or Task Manager to find processes consuming the most CPU.
2. Optimize Applications: Optimize or upgrade applications causing high CPU usage.
3. Scale Out: Consider adding more VMs to distribute the load.
4. Check for Malware: Run a thorough scan for malware.

To Resize the VM:

1. Check Quotas: Verify your current quotas in the Azure portal. Request an increase if needed.
2. VM Size Limitations: Ensure the new VM size supports the required number of disks and resources.
3. Resource Availability: Check if the target VM size is available in your region.
4. Dependencies: Ensure all dependent resources are compatible with the new VM size.

For more details, refer to the official Azure documentation on troubleshooting high CPU issues and requesting quota increases.
