Agent skill
azure-dns
Expert knowledge for Azure DNS development including troubleshooting, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. Use when managing Azure DNS zones/records, DNSSEC, Private DNS + Resolvers, reverse DNS, or large-scale zone design, and other Azure DNS related development tasks. Not for Azure Traffic Manager (use azure-traffic-manager), Azure Front Door (use azure-front-door), Azure Virtual Network (use azure-virtual-network), Azure Virtual Network Manager (use azure-virtual-network-manager).

Azure DNS Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure DNS. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, 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), useread_filewith the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g.,[security.md](security.md)), useread_fileon the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If
metadata.generated_atis more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. Ifmcp_microsoftdocstools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide
This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:
- Preferred: Use
mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetchwith query stringfrom=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown. - Fallback: Use
fetch_webpagewith query stringfrom=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

| Troubleshooting | L35-L39 | Diagnosing and fixing common Azure DNS issues like record resolution failures, misconfigurations, propagation delays, and permission or zone-related errors. |
| Decision Making | L40-L44 | Guidance for planning and executing migration of legacy Azure Private DNS zones to the new DNS zone model, including compatibility, steps, and considerations. |
| Architecture & Design Patterns | L45-L50 | Designing resilient private DNS architectures in Azure, including when to use centralized vs distributed DNS Private Resolvers and how to shard Private DNS zones for high availability. |
| Limits & Quotas | L51-L55 | Private DNS zone scale limits, record count and name constraints, performance and subscription quotas, and design considerations when planning large private DNS deployments |
| Security | L56-L66 | Protecting DNS zones/records from deletion, configuring DNS security policies and logging, using DNSSEC for public zones, and securing Azure DNS with RBAC, alerts, and built-in protections. |
| Configuration | L67-L79 | Configuring Azure DNS behavior: reverse DNS, private DNS zones and resolvers, zone file import/export, monitoring/metrics/logs, and query/ResolutionPolicy settings for name resolution. |
| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L80-L89 | Using Azure CLI, PowerShell, or portal to create/manage DNS zones and records, and to delegate subdomains or import/export DNS zone files for automation and integration. |
