Azure Container Storage Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Container Storage. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, and configuration. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Summary

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Container Storage configuration, troubleshooting, decision-making, and security. It acts as a curated index to official Microsoft documentation, directing agents to fetch and reference relevant help articles via network calls to learn.microsoft.com. The skill contains no executable code, file writes, or dangerous operations — it is purely informational, pointing agents to external documentation with clear category mappings.

Use Cases

Configure CMK encryption for Elastic SAN volumes in Azure Container Storage
Troubleshoot Azure Container Storage v1 installation and pool creation failures
Choose between LRS and ZRS redundancy for multi-zone setups
Resize Azure Container Storage volumes within capacity limits
Set up Prometheus monitoring and Azure Managed Grafana dashboards for container storage
Configure node affinity for local CSI driver placement
Understand billing models for v1 vs v2 versions

Quality Notes

Well-structured category index with clear line number ranges for local content (though referenced lines L33-L64 are not present in the actual file content)
Clear dependency declaration: requires network access and specific MCP tools (mcp_microsoftdocs or fetch_webpage)
Good documentation of fallback behavior if MCP tools unavailable
Metadata staleness check included (metadata.generated_at older than 3 months)
URLs point to legitimate Microsoft Learn domain (learn.microsoft.com)
Strong boundary scoping: explicitly lists what it does NOT cover (Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, Azure Elastic SAN, Azure NetApp Files)
Missing: actual line-by-line content for categories L33-L64; the file contains only frontmatter and category index, no reference material
Missing: referenced files (security.md) are not present in the file manifest
Metadata shows this is auto-generated content (docs2skills/1.0.0) but no regeneration instructions are documented
