# Azure Cloud Hsm Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Cloud Hsm. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, limits & quotas, 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 | L33-L38 | Diagnosing and fixing Azure Cloud HSM cluster issues, including user/key synchronization problems, common error codes, connectivity failures, and operational faults. | | Best Practices | L39-L43 | Guidance on secure key lifecycle management, HSM partition/role design, access control, network and operational hardening, and compliance-oriented security practices for Azure Cloud HSM deployments. | | Limits & Quotas | L44-L49 | Service capacity limits (objects, transactions), quotas, and which cryptographic algorithms and key sizes are supported by Azure Cloud HSM | | Security | L50-L61 | Security configuration for Cloud HSM: auth methods, network and Private Link setup, user management, logging to Event Hubs, and security/compliance best practices. | | Integrations & Coding Patterns | L62-L66 | Using PKCS#11 with Azure Cloud HSM to store, access, and manage X.509 certificates, including configuring certificate storage and integration patterns for apps and services. | ### Troubleshooting | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Fix user and key sync issues in Azure Cloud HSM clusters | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/synchronize-users-keys | | Troubleshoot common Azure Cloud HSM errors and issues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/troubleshoot | ### Best Practices | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Apply key management best practices in Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/key-management | ### Limits & Quotas | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Review Azure Cloud HSM service object and transaction limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/service-limits | | Review supported algorithms and key sizes in Azure Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/supported-algorithms | ### Security | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Configure authentication methods for Azure Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/authentication | | Understand security, compliance, and usage for Azure Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/faq | | Integrate Azure Cloud HSM with Azure Private Link | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/integrate-with-private-link | | Configure network security for Azure Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/network-security | | Apply security best practices to Azure Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/secure-cloud-hsm | | Route Azure Cloud HSM logs to Event Hubs | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/tutorial-configure-event-hub | | Configure and query Azure Cloud HSM operation logs | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/tutorial-operation-event-logging | | Implement secure user management in Azure Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/user-management | ### Integrations & Coding Patterns | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Use PKCS#11 API to manage certificates in Azure Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/pkcs-api-certificate-storage | | Configure PKCS#11 certificate storage with Azure Cloud HSM | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-hsm/tutorial-certificate-storage |
