# Azure Carbon Optimization Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Carbon Optimization. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, security, 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](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md) 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 | |----------|-------|-------------| | Troubleshooting | L32-L36 | Diagnosing and resolving Azure Carbon Optimization issues, including data collection problems, configuration errors, and troubleshooting carbon reporting or optimization results. | | Best Practices | L37-L41 | Using Azure Advisor to identify, prioritize, and implement recommendations that reduce carbon emissions by optimizing resource usage and configuration. | | Security | L42-L46 | Configuring role-based access control (RBAC) for Azure Carbon Optimization, including permissions, roles, and access setup for users and service principals. | | Integrations & Coding Patterns | L47-L51 | Exporting Azure carbon optimization data via REST and Python, including endpoints, auth, payload formats, and sample code for integrating emissions data into external systems. | ### Troubleshooting | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Diagnose and fix Azure Carbon optimization issues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/carbon-optimization/troubleshooting | ### Best Practices | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Apply Azure Advisor recommendations to cut emissions | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/carbon-optimization/reduce-emissions | ### Security | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Configure RBAC access for Azure Carbon optimization | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/carbon-optimization/permissions | ### Integrations & Coding Patterns | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Export Azure Carbon optimization data via REST API | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/carbon-optimization/api-export-data | | Export Azure carbon data via Python REST integration | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/carbon-optimization/tutorial-export-python |
