Hello, You can use resize option on Azure portal to increase the CPU and RAM of yo= ur VM. I believe you don't need to shut down the VM. Once you start the res= izing, Azure will take care of rebooting the VM for you. The public IP will= not change after the resizing. If you want to grow the disk size, you will have to shut down the VM. Find= the disk for your VM on the portal. It should have option to grow the size= . You may need to increase the FreeBSD filesystem size manually once the gu= est boots up again. I have not done this. I just heard from someone who has= done this for Linux VM on Azure.
