Azure Resiliency Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Resiliency. Covers security, configuration, and deployment. 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 Resiliency development, covering security (RBAC, identity, protection policies), configuration (vault management, backup/replication policies), and deployment (zone-down drills, regional failover). It combines a category index with remote documentation fetching via Microsoft Learn, guiding agents to use mcp_microsoftdocs or fetch_webpage to retrieve content.

Quality Notes

Skill structure is clear with explicit category index and line ranges for navigation
Documentation is well-organized into three functional domains: Security, Configuration, and Deployment
Agent instructions are specific (e.g., use `read_file` with line ranges, prefer mcp_microsoftdocs with fallback to fetch_webpage)
References learn.microsoft.com documentation with specific, actionable URLs covering RBAC, policies, vaults, and support matrices
Skill correctly delineates scope (Azure Resiliency only, excludes Reliability, Site Recovery, Backup, and Monitor skills)
Metadata includes age-checking guidance for users to pull latest version
Installation guide link provided for missing mcp_microsoftdocs tool
Scope limitations are explicit in the description field
