1---2name: azure-resource-manager3description: Expert knowledge for Azure Resource Manager development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when authoring Bicep/ARM templates, CI/CD deployments, template specs, deployment stacks, or ARM REST/CLI automations, and other Azure Resource Manager related development tasks. Not for Azure Blueprints (use azure-blueprints), Azure Policy (use azure-policy), Azure Portal (use azure-portal), Azure Resource Graph (use azure-resource-graph).4---5# Azure Resource Manager Skill67This 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.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 | L37-L131 | Diagnosing and fixing ARM/Bicep deployment and syntax errors (BCP codes), template validation issues, policy/SKU/location/name failures, and enabling detailed deployment troubleshooting logs. |24| Best Practices | L132-L177 | Best practices for authoring and linting Bicep/ARM templates: naming, parameters, locations, IDs, dependencies, API/module versions, test toolkit usage, and resilient tagging/endpoint design. |25| Decision Making | L178-L192 | Guidance on choosing ARM deployment models and modes, migrating (ASM→ARM, JSON→Bicep, Blueprints→stacks), planning large-scale regional relocations, and understanding tags and delete behavior. |26| Architecture & Design Patterns | L193-L200 | Bicep architecture patterns for reusable configs, flexible parameters, deterministic name generation, and sharing variables across templates for scalable ARM deployments. |27| Limits & Quotas | L201-L226 | ARM/Bicep limits and quotas: subscription/group caps, resources/params/variables/outputs, tags and naming rules, deployment history, throttling, and quota‑related deployment errors and fixes |28| Security | L227-L253 | Securing ARM/Bicep deployments: handling secrets, secure parameters, RBAC, locks, Private Link, TLS, cross-tenant auth, policy mappings, and management group protection. |29| Configuration | L254-L319 | Authoring and configuring ARM/Bicep templates: syntax, parameters, types, loops, modules, functions, tags, networking/monitoring resources, policy/governance, and deployment/monitoring behavior. |30| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L320-L371 | Bicep/ARM functions and operators, programmatic integrations (CLI, REST, SDKs), and patterns for deploying, querying, tagging, and automating Azure resources and Kubernetes. |31| Deployment | L372-L428 | Deploying and moving Azure resources with ARM/Bicep: CI/CD pipelines, template specs, deployment scripts, deployment stacks, and cross-subscription/region relocation of many Azure services. |3233### Troubleshooting34| Topic | URL |35|-------|-----|36|
