Azure skill for Azure Local

The azure-local skill helps you plan, deploy, operate, and troubleshoot Azure Local, formerly Azure Stack HCI. It covers standard deployments, rack-aware clusters, lifecycle updates, workloads, software-defined networking, and failure triage.

Skill azure-local | Source code

When to use this skill

Use this skill for:

  • Standard Azure Local deployments with 1-16 hyperconverged nodes.
  • Disaggregated deployments and rack-aware clusters.
  • Arc registration, custom locations, and Arc resource bridge.
  • Azure Local virtual machines, AKS on Azure Local, images, disks, and logical networks.
  • Lifecycle updates, disconnected sites, SDN, and troubleshooting.

Don't use this skill for multi-rack deployments that use Network Fabric Controller, Cluster Manager, or Microsoft.NetworkCloud. Use Azure Local Multi-Rack instead.

Safety

The skill starts with read-only checks. It asks for confirmation before updates, deletes, reimages, network changes, virtual machine power operations, or changes to Arc bridge and custom-location resources.

Example prompts

  • "Plan a standard Azure Local deployment for eight nodes."
  • "Troubleshoot this Azure Local update failure."
  • "Create a logical network for my Azure Local VMs."
  • "Review the health of AKS on Azure Local."
