azure-cloud is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DauQuangThanh/hanoi-rainbow. It costs 161 tokens per session (1,310 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for building and operating applications on Microsoft Azure, Microsoft's cloud-computing platform. It covers computing, storage, databases, networking, security, deployment, and monitoring services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Azure infrastructure, virtual machines, containers, databases, Terraform or Bicep configuration, identity and secrets, automated deployments, and application monitoring.
Why use it?
It helps choose and configure Azure services without having to piece together guidance for each part of the cloud setup.

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-cloud 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 10d 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.

Azure Cloud

Core Capabilities

Provides expert guidance for Microsoft Azure infrastructure and services:

  1. Compute Services - Azure Virtual Machines, Virtual Machine Scale Sets, Azure App Service, Azure Functions, Azure Container Instances
  2. Storage Services - Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, Azure Disk Storage, Azure Data Lake Storage
  3. Database Services - Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL, Azure Redis Cache
  4. Networking - Azure Virtual Network (VNet), Azure Load Balancer, Application Gateway, Azure Front Door, VPN Gateway, ExpressRoute
  5. Container Services - AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), Azure Container Registry, Azure Container Instances
  6. Infrastructure as Code - Terraform, Bicep, ARM Templates, Azure CLI, PowerShell
  7. Security - Azure Active Directory (Entra ID), Azure Key Vault, Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel, Azure Policy
  8. DevOps & CI/CD - Azure DevOps, Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions with Azure integration
  9. Monitoring - Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics, Azure Alerts

Best Practices

Azure Virtual Machines

  • Select appropriate VM sizes based on workload (D-series, F-series, E-series)
  • Use managed disks for simplified management and availability
  • Enable Azure Backup for VM protection
  • Use availability sets or availability zones for high availability
  • Configure VM extensions for automated configuration
  • Enable Azure Disk Encryption for data protection
  • Use proximity placement groups for low latency

Azure Storage

  • Use storage account types based on use case (Standard vs Premium, Hot/Cool/Archive tiers)
  • Enable soft delete for blob and container protection
  • Use private endpoints for secure access
  • Configure lifecycle management policies for cost optimization
  • Enable Azure Storage encryption (SSE)
  • Use Azure CDN with Blob Storage for content delivery
  • Implement immutable blob storage for compliance

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
