Azure Resource Manager

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), 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.

Category Index

| Category | Lines | Description |

|----------|-------|-------------|

| Troubleshooting | L37-L135 | Diagnosing and fixing Azure Bicep/ARM deployment errors, including specific BCP codes, template syntax/type issues, scope and decorator problems, policy/SKU/name constraints, and common deployment failures. |

| Best Practices | L136-L182 | Bicep/ARM template authoring and linting best practices: naming, locations, dependencies, unused code, safe patterns, testing with ARM toolkit, and resilient tagging/custom endpoints. |

| Decision Making | L183-L196 | Guidance on migration and relocation decisions: moving from classic/ASM to ARM/Bicep, blueprint-to-stack migration, regional move planning, resource move/tag support, and relocation strategies. |

| Architecture & Design Patterns | L197-L204 | Bicep architecture patterns for reusable configs, flexible parameters, deterministic name generation, and sharing variables across templates for scalable ARM deployments. |

| Limits & Quotas | L205-L234 | ARM/Bicep limits, quotas, and constraints: subscription/RG caps, template size and history limits, naming/tag rules, throttling, and how to diagnose and fix quota-related deployment errors. |

| Security | L235-L264 | Securing ARM/Bicep deployments: cross-tenant auth, private endpoints/VNETs, secrets handling (Key Vault, secure params), RBAC/locks, policy/regulatory mapping, and TLS/network hardening. |

| Configuration | L265-L320 | Configuring ARM and Bicep deployments: linter and env setup, parameters, scopes, dependencies, tags, custom providers, monitoring, policy/governance, portal Form view UI, and preview/feature management. |

| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L321-L382 | Bicep and ARM template functions, operators, and patterns; integrating with CLI/PowerShell/SDKs/REST, using Key Vault, AKS, custom providers, and programmatic resource/tag management. |

| Deployment | L383-L439 | Deploying and moving Azure resources with ARM/Bicep: scripts, stacks, registries, multi-scope deployments, CI/CD, and region/subscription relocation for many Azure services. |
