1---2name: azure-container-storage3description: Azure Container Storage Skill4---5# Azure Container Storage Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Container Storage. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, 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 file1213> **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)1415This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:16- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.17- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.1819## Category Index2021| Category | Lines | Description |22|----------|-------|-------------|23| Troubleshooting | L33-L37 | Diagnosing and fixing Azure Container Storage v1 install failures, pool creation/health issues, and related Kubernetes cluster/storage configuration problems. |24| Decision Making | L38-L45 | Guidance on Azure Container Storage costs (v1 vs v2), billing models, and choosing/configuring redundancy options like LRS vs ZRS and multi-zone setups |25| Limits & Quotas | L46-L51 | Guidance on resizing Azure Container Storage volumes (v2 and v1), including capacity/pool limits, constraints, and steps to safely expand volumes within those limits. |26| Security | L52-L56 | Configuring customer-managed key (CMK) encryption for Azure Container Storage using Elastic SAN volumes, including setup steps and security considerations. |27| Configuration | L57-L64 | Configuring Azure Container Storage pools, node placement, and monitoring: storage pool parameters, node affinity, Prometheus setup (v1 & current), and Azure Managed Grafana dashboards. |2829### Troubleshooting30| Topic | URL |31|-------|-----|32| Troubleshoot Azure Container Storage v1 installation and pool issues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/troubleshoot-container-storage |3334### Decision Making35| Topic | URL |36|-------|-----|37| Understand billing model for Azure Container Storage v2 | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/container-storage-billing |38| Understand billing model for Azure Container Storage v1 | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/container-storage-billing-version-1 |39| Choose LRS vs ZRS for Azure Container Storage | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/enable-multi-zone-redundancy |40| Configure multi-zone redundancy for Azure Container Storage v1 | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/enable-multi-zone-redundancy-version-1 |4142### Limits & Quotas43| Topic | URL |44|-------|-----|45| Resize Azure Container Storage volumes within capacity limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/resize-volume |46| Resize Azure Container Storage v1 volumes within pool limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/resize-volume-version-1 |4748### Security49| Topic | URL |50|-------|-----|51| Configure CMK-based encryption for Elastic SAN volumes | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/configure-encryption-for-elastic-san |5253### Configuration54| Topic | URL |55|-------|-----|56| Reference storage pool parameters for Azure Container Storage v1 | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/container-storage-storage-pool-parameters |57| Enable Prometheus monitoring for Azure Container Storage | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/enable-monitoring |58| Enable Prometheus monitoring for Azure Container Storage v1 | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/enable-monitoring-version-1 |59| Configure node affinity for local CSI driver placement | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/manage-local-container-storage-interface-driver-placement |60| Use Azure Managed Grafana dashboards for container storage | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/use-grafana-dashboard |
