Best use case

azure-resource-manager is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using azure-resource-manager should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Azure Resource Manager Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Resource Manager. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, 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](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md)

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.

## Category Index

| Category | Lines | Description |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Troubleshooting | L37-L130 | Diagnosing and fixing Bicep/ARM deployment issues: specific BCP error codes, syntax and type problems, decorator/scope issues, and common Azure template and resource deployment failures. |
| Best Practices | L131-L176 | Best practices for authoring and linting Bicep/ARM templates: naming, parameters, locations, IDs, dependencies, API/module versions, test toolkit usage, and resilient tagging/endpoint design. |
| Decision Making | L177-L190 | Guidance for planning and choosing between ARM deployment models, migration paths (ASM, ARM JSON, Blueprints), and strategies for large-scale or regional Azure workload relocations. |
| Architecture & Design Patterns | L191-L198 | Bicep architecture patterns for reusable configs, flexible parameters, deterministic name generation, and sharing variables across templates for scalable ARM deployments. |
| Limits & Quotas | L199-L225 | ARM/Bicep limits and quotas: subscription/group caps, resources/params/variables/outputs, tags and naming rules, deployment history, throttling, and quota‑related deployment errors and fixes |
| Security | L226-L252 | Securing ARM/Bicep deployments: handling secrets, secure parameters, RBAC, locks, Private Link, TLS, cross-tenant auth, policy mappings, and management group protection. |
| Configuration | L253-L319 | Authoring and configuring Bicep and ARM templates: syntax, types, functions, modules, parameters, tags, networking, monitoring, policy, custom providers, and ARM governance/preview settings. |
| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L320-L369 | Bicep/ARM functions, operators, and patterns plus CLI/PowerShell/Python/REST integrations for deploying, querying, tagging, and automating Azure resources and Kubernetes. |
| Deployment | L370-L426 | Deploying and moving Azure resources with ARM/Bicep: CI/CD pipelines, template specs, deployment scripts, deployment stacks, and cross-subscription/region relocation of many Azure services. |
