azure

azure is a cursor rule for coding agents from sanjeed5/awesome-cursor-rules-mdc. It costs 316 tokens per session, scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

Development and operations guidelines for Microsoft Azure, a cloud platform for running applications and services. They apply Azure architecture principles to security, cost, reliability, performance, and day-to-day operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining Azure resources with infrastructure as code, organising Bicep or Terraform modules, and applying Azure Well-Architected and Cloud Adoption Framework practices.
Why use it?
They help teams avoid difficult-to-maintain infrastructure and make cloud decisions that balance security, resilience, speed, and spending.

Cursor rule

About the project

awesome-cursor-rules-mdc is a generator that creates Cursor MDC rule files from structured library information, using semantic search and language models to gather and organize guidance. Developers use it to produce reusable rules for libraries in Cursor, and the catalogue includes 200 of those rules.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

azure scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Azure Best Practices

This guide provides opinionated, actionable best practices for developing and operating solutions on Azure. It emphasizes the Azure Well-Architected Framework (Cost Optimization, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Operational Excellence) and the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) for governance. Adhere to these standards to build robust, secure, and cost-effective cloud-native applications.

1. Code Organization and Structure

Always use Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for Azure resource deployment. Prefer modular, reusable components.

1.1. Modular IaC with Bicep or Terraform

Break down infrastructure into logical, reusable modules. This improves maintainability, reusability, and enforces consistency.

❌ BAD: Monolithic ARM templates or single large Bicep/Terraform files.

// main.bicep - too many resources, hard to manage
resource storageAccount 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2023-01-01' = {
  // ... all storage config
}
resource appServicePlan 'Microsoft.Web/serverfarms@2022-09-01' = {
  // ... all app service plan config
}
// ... many more resources

✅ GOOD: Modular Bicep (or Terraform modules).

// main.bicep
module storage '

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
