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: This file may be large. Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections, then use read_file with specific line ranges (e.g., L136-L144) to read the sections needed for the user's question

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 application UI and deployment: createUiDefinition.json, UI elements, functions, parameters, networking, policies, webhooks, and 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.
