1---2name: azure-payment-hsm3description: Expert knowledge for Azure Payment Hsm development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, security, and configuration. Use when configuring Payment HSM VNets/FastPath, payShield Manager access, HA/DR topologies, SKUs, or traffic inspection, and other Azure Payment Hsm related development tasks. Not for Azure Dedicated HSM (use azure-dedicated-hsm), Azure Cloud Hsm (use azure-cloud-hsm), Azure Key Vault (use azure-key-vault), Azure Information Protection (use azure-information-protection).4---5# Azure Payment Hsm Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Payment Hsm. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, security, and configuration. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **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 file1213This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:14- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch`. Returns Markdown.15- **Fallback**: Use `WebFetch`. Returns Markdown.1617## Category Index1819| Category | Lines | Description |20|----------|-------|-------------|21| Troubleshooting | L30-L34 | Diagnosing and resolving common Azure Payment HSM deployment issues, including provisioning failures, configuration problems, and known platform limitations or workarounds. |22| Best Practices | L35-L39 | Guidance on inspecting, monitoring, and routing network traffic to Azure Payment HSM, including using firewalls, NSGs, and network appliances for secure traffic control. |23| Decision Making | L40-L45 | Guidance on choosing/changing Azure Payment HSM performance SKUs, and understanding support options, roles, and responsibilities for operating the service. |24| Architecture & Design Patterns | L46-L51 | Designing Azure Payment HSM architectures: HA/DR patterns, device lifecycle management, supported topologies, deployment constraints, and planning resilient HSM solutions. |25| Security | L52-L58 | Security setup for Payment HSM: configuring SSH/payShield manager access, understanding compliance certifications/scope, and applying hardening and security best practices. |26| Configuration | L59-L70 | Configuring Azure Payment HSM networking and access: VNets/peering, FastPath, ARM/CLI deployment, IP layout (split/reused VNets), provider registration, and payShield Manager browser access. |2728### Troubleshooting29| Topic | URL |30|-------|-----|31| Resolve known issues with Azure Payment HSM deployments | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/known-issues |3233### Best Practices34| Topic | URL |35|-------|-----|36| Inspect and route network traffic for Azure Payment HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/inspect-traffic |3738### Decision Making39| Topic | URL |40|-------|-----|41| Select and change Azure Payment HSM performance SKUs | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/change-performance-level |42| Use Azure Payment HSM support and understand responsibilities | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/support-guide |4344### Architecture & Design Patterns45| Topic | URL |46|-------|-----|47| Design high availability and DR for Azure Payment HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/deployment-scenarios |48| Plan solution topologies and constraints for Payment HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/solution-design |4950### Security51| Topic | URL |52|-------|-----|53| Configure SSH access to Azure Payment HSM payShield manager | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/access-payshield-manager-ssh |54| Understand Payment HSM compliance certifications and scope | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/certification-compliance |55| Apply security best practices to Azure Payment HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/secure-payment-hsm |5657### Configuration58| Topic | URL |59|-------|-----|60| Configure browser access to payShield Manager for Payment HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/access-payshield-manager |61| Configure Payment HSM IPs in different VNets via ARM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/create-different-ip-addresses |62| Configure Azure Payment HSM across separate VNets | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/create-different-vnet |63| Deploy Payment HSM with split VNets via ARM template | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/create-different-vnet-template |64| Configure FastPathEnabled feature flag and tag for Payment HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/fastpathenabled |65| Configure VNet peering and fastpath for Payment HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/peer-vnets |66| Manage Azure Payment HSM resources with Azure CLI | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/quickstart-cli |67| Register Azure Payment HSM resource providers and features | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/register-payment-hsm-resource-providers |68| Reuse existing virtual networks for Azure Payment HSM deployment | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/payment-hsm/reuse-vnet |
