How to get the Azure VM Size using Azure CLI in PowerShell?


To get the Azure VM size using Azure CLI, we first need to make sure that the Azure account is connected to the specific subscription for the VM that we need to retrieve the VM size.

To get the specific Azure VM size, we need to first retrieve the VM details and then need to run the JMESPATH query to retrieve the VM size.

az vm show -n VMname -g ResourceGroupName --query '[hardwareProfile.vmSize]' -otsv

you can also retrieve the size of the VM without resource group name, using “az vm list” command.

az vm list --query "[?name=='AzVM'].hardwareProfile.vmSize" -otsv
