# Azure Cloud Shell Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Cloud Shell. Covers troubleshooting, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, 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 `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 common Cloud Shell errors, storage and connectivity issues, plus deployment and network problems when running Cloud Shell in private VNets. | | Architecture & Design Patterns | L39-L43 | Designing secure, private access to Azure Cloud Shell from virtual networks, including network architecture, connectivity options, and required endpoints/configuration. | | Limits & Quotas | L44-L48 | Details on Cloud Shell session duration, resource and storage limits, quotas, and how these constraints affect usage and persistence of files and settings. | | Security | L49-L55 | Securing Cloud Shell storage: configuring shared storage safely, using private endpoints, and setting RBAC for VNet-based Cloud Shell deployments. | | Deployment | L56-L59 | Guidance for deploying Azure Cloud Shell into a virtual network, including network requirements, configuration steps, and securing Shell access within private VNets. | ### Troubleshooting | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Troubleshoot common Azure Cloud Shell issues and FAQs | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/faq-troubleshooting | | Troubleshoot Cloud Shell deployments in private VNets | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/vnet/troubleshooting | ### Architecture & Design Patterns | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Architect Azure Cloud Shell access in private VNets | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/vnet/overview | ### Limits & Quotas | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Understand Azure Cloud Shell session and storage limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/overview | ### Security | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Configure Cloud Shell storage for multiple users securely | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/security/how-to-support-multiple-users | | Secure Cloud Shell storage with private endpoints | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/vnet/how-to-use-private-endpoint-storage | | Configure RBAC for Cloud Shell VNet migration | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/vnet/migrate-container-permissions | ### Deployment | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Deploy Azure Cloud Shell into a virtual network | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/vnet/deployment |
