Azure DNS Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure DNS. Covers decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. 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 |
|---|
| Decision Making | L34-L38 | Guidance for planning and executing migration of legacy Azure Private DNS zones to the new DNS zone model, including compatibility, steps, and considerations. |
| Architecture & Design Patterns | L39-L44 | Designing resilient private DNS architectures in Azure, including when to use centralized vs distributed DNS Private Resolvers and how to shard Private DNS zones for high availability. |
| Limits & Quotas | L45-L51 | DNS record, zone, and query limits for public and private Azure DNS, including quotas, scaling behaviors, and constraints when designing Private DNS zones and usage. |
| Security | L52-L62 | Protecting DNS zones/records from deletion, configuring DNS security policies and logging, using DNSSEC for public zones, and securing Azure DNS with RBAC, alerts, and built-in protections. |
| Configuration | L63-L75 | Configuring Azure DNS behavior: reverse DNS, private DNS zones and resolvers, zone file import/export, monitoring/metrics/logs, and query/ResolutionPolicy settings for name resolution. |
| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L76-L85 | Using Azure CLI, PowerShell, or portal to create/manage DNS zones and records, and to delegate subdomains or import/export DNS zone files for automation and integration. |
