azure-site-recovery
Expert knowledge for Azure Site Recovery development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when planning ASR for VMware/Hyper‑V, configuring Recovery Services vaults, scripting with PowerShell/Terraform, integrating ExpressRoute/Traffic Manager, or protecting AD/SQL/SAP workloads, and other Azure Site Recovery related development tasks. Not for Azure Backup (use azure-backup), Azure Migrate (use azure-migrate), Azure Virtual Machines (use azure-virtual-machines), Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (use azure-vm-scalesets).
Best use case
azure-site-recovery is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

# Azure Site Recovery Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Site Recovery. 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-L65 | Diagnosing and fixing Azure Site Recovery replication, agent,
