Azure Virtual Network Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Virtual Network. Covers best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, 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), useread_filewith the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g.,[security.md](security.md)), useread_fileon the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If
metadata.generated_atis more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. Ifmcp_microsoftdocstools 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_fetchwith query stringfrom=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown. - Fallback: Use
fetch_webpagewith query stringfrom=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.
Category Index
| Category | Lines | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Best Practices | L35-L43 | Designing secure, high-performance VNets: NSG rule patterns, traffic flow, VM throughput tuning, TCP/IP optimization, and secure use of VNet service endpoints. |
| Decision Making | L44-L53 | Guidance on choosing VNet-related options: MANA support for VM sizes, upgrading Basic to Standard public IPs, routing preference and unmetered CDN traffic, cost trade-offs, and VNet integration for isolation. |
| Architecture & Design Patterns | L54-L60 | Designing VNet architectures: subnet extension for migrations, VNet peering, hybrid two-tier apps, traffic mirroring with TAP, topology planning, and custom routing options. |
| Limits & Quotas | L61-L68 | Network resource limits and behaviors for Azure VMs/VNets: accelerated networking support, public IP quotas, VM throughput caps, and Virtual Network scale/performance constraints. |
| Security | L69-L78 | Securing Virtual Networks: network policies, encryption, service tags, service endpoint policies, and applying Azure Policy/security controls to VNets and Kubernetes traffic. |
| Configuration | L79-L114 | Configuring Azure VNets: IPs (public/private, prefixes, IPv4/IPv6), DNS, MTU, DHCP, subnet delegation/peering, monitoring, and CNI/MANA networking for VMs, NVAs, Kubernetes, and PaaS. |
| Deployment | L115-L118 | Guidance for upgrading Azure Basic public IP addresses to Standard SKU, including requirements, steps, and considerations for network resources and downtime. |
