Any of Azurevirtualmachines's 11 actions, including Deallocate Virtual Machine, Get Virtual Machine, List Available VM Sizes and List Locations. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Azurevirtualmachines to AskHandle? Yes. When something happens in Azurevirtualmachines, your agent can act in AskHandle too. This page covers both directions: Azurevirtualmachines's triggers and AskHandle's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for AskHandle or Azurevirtualmachines?
