description	Select secure Azure Storage services, tiers, redundancy, and lifecycle intent for active APEX architecture and planning tasks.

APEX Azure Storage

Use this skill only for an active architecture or planning task. It records storage service and security intent; it does not list, read, upload, or modify data.

Prerequisites

• apex/taskContext identifies data classification, recovery objectives, access pattern, and target environment.
• Governance and security constraints are current and accepted.

Workflow

1. Select Blob, Files, Queue, Table, or Data Lake with Storage selection.
2. Bind redundancy, tier, lifecycle, identity, and network choices to requirements and governance.
3. Apply Security and governance and Service, authentication, and SDK boundary to typed intent.
4. Return missing classification, RPO/RTO, policy, or network evidence as a blocker.

Boundaries

• This skill is advisory; it does not issue storage commands, use keys, create data, or modify resources.
• Inventory and diagnostics require accepted capability evidence; deployment remains an approved lifecycle operation.
• The kernel owns state, gates, and evidence acceptance.

• Security and governance - identity, private access, and policy mapping.
• Service, authentication, and SDK boundary - source-derived service, authentication, lifecycle, and implementation-boundary rules.
