Plan, deploy, operate, and troubleshoot multi-rack (rack scale) deployments of Azure Local — preintegrated racks scaling to hundreds of machines, built on Network Fabric Controller, Cluster Manager, SAN storage, and managed network fabric. Use for the Microsoft.NetworkCloud and Microsoft.ManagedNetworkFabric control plane. NOT for standard 1-16 node Azure Local, and NOT for rack-aware clusters (two racks as availability zones, up to 8 nodes, synchronous replication) — those are standard scale.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Azure Local Multi-Rack > Multi-rack is in **preview** — say so, and confirm availability from the docs before committing to a design. ## Quick Reference | Property | Value | | --- | --- | | Best for | Rack-scale Azure Local: 100+ machines, preintegrated racks, SAN, managed fabric | | Scale | Minimum four racks — one aggregation rack plus three or more compute racks | | Providers | `Microsoft.NetworkCloud`, `Microsoft.ManagedNetworkFabric`, `Microsoft.AzureStackHCI` | | CLI | `az networkcloud`, `az networkfabric`, `az stack-hci-vm` | | Related skill | `azure-local` for standard 1-16 node and rack-aware deployments | ## When to Use This Skill Use when the deployment is multi-rack / rack scale: preintegrated racks, an aggregation rack, a Network Fabric Controller, a Cluster Manager, SAN storage, or the `networkcloud` / `managednetworkfabric` CLI extensions. Do **not** use for standard Azure Local (1-16 node hyperconverged, up to 64 disaggregated) or rack-aware clusters — hand off to the `azure-local` skill. If the scale is unclear, ask first: the two have separate, non-interchangeable procedures for the same-sounding tasks (logical networks, VM creation, NSGs). ## MCP Tools …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-local-multi-rack@sha256:4d35e48143fe86feThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.0-placeholder, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
