Azure Elastic SAN Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Elastic SAN. 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.
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 readfile with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use readfile on the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generatedat is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcpmicrosoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide
This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:
Preferred: Use mcpmicrosoftdocs:microsoftdocs_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.

Guidance on sizing and configuring Elastic SAN (performance, capacity, architecture) and deciding how to integrate it with AKS workloads and storage patterns.
Architecture & Design Patterns
L54-L58
Patterns for running clustered apps (SQL, Failover Cluster, etc.) on Azure Elastic SAN, including shared volume setup, fencing, failover behavior, and high-availability design.
Limits & Quotas
L59-L64
Details on Elastic SAN capacity limits, max IOPS/throughput, and how VM sizes, volume groups, and workloads affect achievable performance and scaling.
Security
L65-L74
Configuring encryption (platform and customer-managed keys) and secure access to Elastic SAN using private endpoints, service endpoints, and other network security options.
Configuration
L75-L83
Deploying, resizing, deleting, and monitoring Azure Elastic SAN instances/volumes, plus configuring iSCSI IQN naming and safe operational best practices.
Integrations & Coding Patterns
L84-L91
Creating and benchmarking Elastic SAN volumes, plus step-by-step guidance to connect Linux and Windows clients using iSCSI and optimize performance.
Deployment
L92-L95
