resize VM without reboot
Currently if you want to change the VM Size of Azure, VM is restarted. VM Resize shouldn't require downtime and it should be done in the backend. As CPU and RAM is still throttle when we use more resources then why can't we just remove the throttling limit and inform customer that VM is resized from A to D series when request is raised of resize?

Ideally, a VM clone on-the-fly with transparent switching during the scaling phase.

The webhook/runbook automation to reszie the VM the on the fly to support more loads during peak times of a standalone VM will not work.
It needs a silent resize in the background.

Hi azure any updates? This should be implemented, other cloud vendor has this feature.

This can be done in Hyper-V, AWS, and all other cloud platforms on the fly without taking the disk or VM offline. This is a fairly standard occurance when managing a sizeable amount of VMs in any environment and incurring an outage related to this has been very painful to deal with in Azure.

Very critical feature for all systems - especially production. This limitation is making us consider alternate CSP's.

Would be a fundamental game changer to dynamically scale workloads without workload impact. This of course would deliver on the promise of cloud elasticity at scale, and become a killer feature to prompt more cloud adoption due to a real ability to take advantage of realtime optimization opportunities.

We badly need this! +999999 votes!. This will be perfectly for tasks or services that needs larger VM during peak hours then resize to smaller ones on less traffic time

Resize without reboot would help facilitate auto-resizing by script based on load triggers. It should be smooth and dynamic, without impact to our users.

A must have feature, unnecessary reboots should be avoided.

Or - even if we could resize the VM, then have the resize pending until the next reboot
