Resize Azure VMs in bulk

If you need to do a bulk update of VM sizes from one type to another to take advantage of new technology being released, this script should help you out.

This script will work for Resource Manager VMs, and NOT Classic VMs.
It targets VMs that are deallocated or have failed deployments only.
VMs in a Failed deployment state will automatically start when re-sized.

I've added a select grid at the end to let you toggle the state of the VMs that have been changed.
i.e Selected VMs will be Started if Deallocated and Stopped if in any other state

I've preloaded the SizeMapping table with the mapping to move from Dv2 Promo sizes to their equivilent Dv3 and Ev3 sizes.
You can change this as to your requirements, just set the Old and New elements for each record.
Make sure only select ONE subscription from the Select Grid.

[sourcecode gutter="false" title="Resize VMs" language="powershell"]
#If you want to stop running VMs, Resize and restart again, set this to $true
$ForceStop = $false
#Prompt to confirm shutdown for each VM
$StopConfirm = $true
#Filter on VM name to restrict the list of VMs returned
$VMFilter = "*"

$AvailSubscriptions = Get-AzureRmSubscription

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
$SelectedSubscription = $AvailSubscriptions | select Name, Id | Out-GridView -Title "Select ONE (only) Subscription" -PassThru

$SubscriptionGUID = $SelectedSubscription.Id

Select-AzureRmSubscription -Subscription $SubscriptionGUID

#Update this table if you have different mapping size requirements from old to new
$SizeMapping = @()
$SizeMapping += @{Old='Standard_D2_v2_Promo';New='Standard_D2_v3'}
$SizeMapping += @{Old='Standard_D3_v2_Promo';New='Standard_D4_v3'}

    Thanks for your script ! For more efficiency you can replace the lines below :$AvailSubscriptions = Get-AzureRmSubscription$SelectedSubscription = $AvailSubscriptions | select Name, Id | Out-GridView -Title "Select ONE (only) Subscription" -PassThru$SubscriptionGUID = $SelectedSubscription.IdSelect-AzureRmSubscription -Subscription $SubscriptionGUIDBy this one :Select-AzureRmSubscription -Subscription (Get-AzureRmSubscription | select Name, Id | Out-GridView -Title "Select ONE (only) Subscription" -OutputMode Single).Name ;)
