Azure Managed Applications Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Managed Applications. Covers 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), 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 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
Limits & Quotas	L32-L37	Guidance on storage-related limits: using StorageAccountSelector with naming rules and configuring external storage for large managed application definition packages.
Security	L38-L49	Security and access control for managed apps: JIT access, Azure Policy associations, managed identities (incl. cross-tenant), Key Vault/CMK use, and avoiding hardcoded credentials.
Configuration	L50-L94	Designing and configuring managed app deployments: createUiDefinition UI schema, functions, built-in controls, networking/VNet use, policies, webhooks, and ARM template/view references.
Deployment	L95-L99	Creating and publishing Azure Managed Application definitions using Bicep and deploying them into an internal service catalog for reuse.

Prepare azd-based Azure projects for deployment: generates azure.yaml, infrastructure (Bicep/Terraform), and Dockerfiles for the Azure Developer CLI (azd) workflow. USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.
