# Azure IoT Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure IoT. Covers decision making, architecture & design patterns, and configuration. 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 | |----------|-------|-------------| | Decision Making | L31-L36 | Guidance on designing Azure Device Registry namespaces and schema registries, including structure, organization, and planning for IoT device data models and metadata. | | Architecture & Design Patterns | L37-L42 | Designing certificate lifecycle flows for Azure Device Registry and IoT Hub, including issuance, renewal planning, automation, and minimizing downtime for IoT device certificates | | Configuration | L43-L49 | Configuring Azure Device Registry for X.509 PKI: setting up credentials, creating ADR policies with Microsoft or external root CAs, and revoking certificates/policies for IoT Hub. | ### Decision Making | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Design and choose Azure Device Registry namespaces | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/iot-device-registry-namespace-guidance | | Plan Azure Device Registry schema registries for IoT | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/iot-device-registry-schema-registry-guidance | ### Architecture & Design Patterns | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Understand certificate issuance flow in ADR and IoT Hub | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concept-certificate-issuance | | Plan and execute certificate renewal for IoT devices | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/concept-certificate-renewal | ### Configuration | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Configure Azure Device Registry credential for X.509 PKI | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/how-to-configure-credential | | Create policy with Microsoft root CA in ADR | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/how-to-create-policy | | Configure ADR policy with external root CA | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/how-to-create-policy-external-certificate | | Revoke certificates and delete ADR policies for IoT Hub | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/how-to-revoke-certificate-delete-policy |
