Expert knowledge for Azure Extended Zones development including limits & quotas, security, and configuration. Use when registering subs, authoring Azure Policy, deploying Azure Firewall, CMK disk encryption, or quota requests, and other Azure Extended Zones related development tasks. Not for Azure Virtual Network (use azure-virtual-network), Azure Virtual WAN (use azure-virtual-wan), Azure Traffic Manager (use azure-traffic-manager).

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 Extended Zones Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Extended Zones. Covers limits & quotas, security, 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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoftdocs/agent-skills/azure-extended-zones@sha256:755ecd892a266386

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.baf3ca1, 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.
