About azure-reliability
Assess and improve the reliability posture of PaaS Applications (Azure Functions and Azure App Service). Scans deployed resources for zone redundancy, ZRS storage, health probes, and multi-region failover. Presents a feature-pivoted checklist, then drives staged remediation (CLI or IaC patches) end-to-end with user confirmation. WHEN: "assess reliability", "check reliability", "zone redundant", "multi-region failover", "high availability", "disaster recovery", "single points of failure", "reliability posture", "resiliency".

What it does
Scans deployed resources for zone redundancy on compute, zone-redundant storage (ZRS/GZRS), health probes, and multi-region failover configuration
Presents findings as a feature-pivoted checklist, then guides staged remediation via Azure CLI commands or IaC patches (Bicep/Terraform) with user confirmation at each step
Supports two fix paths: immediate CLI changes against live resources, or persistent IaC updates with automatic deployment via azd up or terraform apply
Handles storage migration separately (live conversion from LRS/GRS to ZRS) with polling and two-deploy flow to keep IaC in sync
Multi-region setup (secondary region + Front Door) only offered after core single-region reliability is complete; requires explicit user consent before any deployment

Use for Azure AI: Search, Speech, OpenAI, Document Intelligence. Helps with search, vector/hybrid search, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, transcription, OCR. WHEN: AI Search, query search, vector search, hybrid search, semantic search, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, transcribe, OCR, convert text to speech.
azure-deploy
microsoft / azure-skills
Execute Azure deployments for ALREADY-PREPARED applications that have existing .azure/deployment-plan.md and infrastructure files. DO NOT use this skill when the user asks to CREATE a new application — use azure-prepare instead. This skill runs azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, and az deployment commands with built-in error recovery. Requires .azure/deployment-plan.md from azure-prepare and validated status from azure-validate. WHEN: "run azd up", "run azd deploy", "execute deployment", "push to production", "push to cloud", "go live", "ship it", "bicep deploy", "terraform apply", "publish to Azure", "launch on Azure". DO NOT USE WHEN: "create and deploy", "build and deploy", "create a new app", "set up infrastructure", "create and deploy to Azure using Terraform" — use azure-prepare for these.
azure-prepare
microsoft / azure-skills
Prepare azd-based Azure projects for deployment: generates azure.yaml, infrastructure (Bicep/Terraform), and Dockerfiles for the Azure Developer CLI (azd) workflow. USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.
appinsights-instrumentation
microsoft / azure-skills
Guidance for instrumenting webapps with Azure Application Insights. Provides telemetry patterns, SDK setup, and configuration references. WHEN: how to instrument app, App Insights SDK, telemetry patterns, what is App Insights, Application Insights guidance, instrumentation examples, APM best practices.
azure-resource-lookup
microsoft / azure-skills
List, find, and show Azure resources across subscriptions or resource groups. Handles prompts like "list the websites in my subscription", "list my web apps", "show my app services", "list virtual machines", "list my VMs", "show storage accounts", "find container apps", and "what resources do I have". USE FOR: list websites, list web apps, list app services, show websites in subscription, resource inventory, find resources by tag, tag analysis, orphaned resource discovery (not for cost analysis), unattached disks, count resources by type, cross-subscription lookup, and Azure Resource Graph queries. DO NOT USE FOR: deploying/changing resources (use azure-deploy), cost optimization (use azure-cost), or non-Azure clouds.
azure-rbac
microsoft / azure-skills
Helps users find the right Azure RBAC role for an identity with least privilege access, then generate CLI commands and Bicep code to assign it. Also provides guidance on permissions required to grant roles. WHEN: bicep for role assignment, what role should I assign, least privilege role, RBAC role for, role to read blobs, role for managed identity, custom role definition, assign role to identity, what role do I need to grant access, permissions to assign roles.
