DAPR Azure Integration

This skill helps configure Azure services as DAPR components with production-ready configurations and managed identity support.

When to Use

Claude automatically uses this skill when:

• User mentions Azure services (Cosmos DB, Service Bus, etc.)
• Deploying DAPR apps to Azure Container Apps or AKS
• Setting up managed identity authentication
• Configuring Azure-specific DAPR components

Azure Component Configurations

Azure Cosmos DB (State Store)

Best for: Global distribution, strong consistency, document storage

# components/statestore-cosmosdb.yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: statestore
spec:
  type: state.azure.cosmosdb
  version: v1
  metadata:
  # Connection
  - name: url
    value: https://{account}.documents.azure.com:443/
  - name: database
    value: daprdb
  - name: collection
    value: state

  # Authentication (Managed Identity - Recommended)
  - name: azureClientId
    value: "{managed-identity-client-id}"

  # OR Connection String (Development only)
  # - name: masterKey
  #   secretKeyRef:
  #     name: cosmos-secrets
  #     key: masterKey

  # Performance settings
  - name: actorStateStore
    value: "true"
  - name: partitionKey
    value: "/partitionKey"

  # Consistency
  - name: consistencyLevel
    value: "Strong"  # or Session, Eventual

Prerequisites:

# Create Cosmos DB account
az cosmosdb create \
  --name mycosmosaccount \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --kind GlobalDocumentDB

# Create database and container
az cosmosdb sql database create \
  --account-name mycosmosaccount \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --name daprdb

az cosmosdb sql container create \
  --account-name mycosmosaccount \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --database-name daprdb \
  --name state \
  --partition-key-path /partitionKey

Azure Service Bus (Pub/Sub)

Best for: Enterprise messaging, ordered delivery, dead-letter support

# components/pubsub-servicebus.yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: pubsub
spec:
  type: pubsub.azure.servicebus.topics
  version: v1
  metadata:
  # Authentication (Managed Identity - Recommended)
  - name: namespaceName
    value: "{namespace}.servicebus.windows.net"
  - name: azureClientId
    value: "{managed-identity-client-id}"

  # OR Connection String
  # - name: connectionString
  #   secretKeyRef:
  #     name: servicebus-secrets
  #     key: connectionString

  # Consumer settings
  - name: consumerID
    value: "{app-id}"
  - name: maxActiveMessages
    value: "100"
  - name: maxConcurrentHandlers
    value: "10"
  - name: lockRenewalInSec
    value: "60"

  # Retry settings
  - name: maxRetriableErrorsPerSec
    value: "10"
  - name: maxDeliveryCount
    value: "10"
