Plan, deploy, operate, and troubleshoot Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI): sizing and prerequisites, Arc registration, lifecycle updates, workloads (Azure Local VMs, AKS on Azure Local, images, disks, logical networks), SDN and network security, and failure triage — starting read-only and confirming before risky changes. WHEN: Azure Local, Azure Stack HCI, Arc resource bridge, custom location, Azure Local VM, Arc VM, AKS on Azure Local, AKS hybrid, SDN, Lifecycle Manager, Azure Local…
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 ## Quick Reference | Property | Value | | --- | --- | | Best for | Azure Local planning, deployment, operations, workloads | | MCP Tools | Generic Azure MCP tools only; no Azure Local namespace | | CLI | `az graph query`, `az resource show`, Azure Local PowerShell | | Related skills | azure-compute (public VMs), azure-kubernetes (public AKS) | ## When to Use This Skill Use for Azure Local, Azure Stack HCI, Azure Local VMs, AKS on Azure Local, AKS hybrid, SDN, lifecycle updates, disconnected sites, or troubleshooting. Covers standard deployments (1-16 node hyperconverged, up to 64 disaggregated) and rack-aware clusters. Do not use for cloud VM or public AKS guidance, or for **multi-rack (rack scale)** deployments — those use a separate control plane and procedure set. Hand off to the `azure-local-multi-rack` skill. ## MCP Tools Azure Local has no dedicated MCP namespace. Use generic Azure MCP tools: `mcp_azure_mcp_extension_cli_generate` (ARG/CLI inventory), `mcp_azure_mcp_monitor` (needs Log Analytics), `mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth` (partial; not local cluster health), `mcp_azure_mcp_documentation` (pass the user's version when known). …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-local@sha256:6d087a09e51f519dThe 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.
