Covers troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, and configuration. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.\n\n## How to Use This Skill\n\n> **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\n\n> **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)\n\nThis skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:\n- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.\n- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.\n\n## Category Index\n\n| Category | Lines | Description |\n|----------|-------|-------------|\n| Troubleshooting | L33-L37 | Diagnosing and fixing Azure Container Storage v1 install failures, pool creation/health issues, and related Kubernetes cluster/storage configuration problems. |\n| Decision Making | L38-L45 | Guidance on Azure Container Storage costs (v1 vs v2), billing models, and choosing/configuring redundancy options like LRS vs ZRS and multi-zone setups |\n| Limits & Quotas | L46-L51 | Guidance on resizing Azure Container Storage volumes (v2 and v1), including capacity/pool limits, constraints, and steps to safely expand volumes within those limits. |\n| Security | L52-L56 | Configuring customer-managed key (CMK) encryption for Azure Container Storage using Elastic SAN volumes, including setup steps and security considerations. |\n| Configuration | L57-L64 | Configuring Azure Container Storage pools, node placement, and monitoring: storage pool parameters, node affinity, Prometheus setup (v1 & current), and Azure Managed Grafana dashboards. |\n\n### Troubleshooting\n| Topic | URL |\n|-------|-----|\n| Troubleshoot Azure Container Storage v1
