Can this skill help with Azure Blob Storage or Azure Files?

No, this skill is specifically for Azure Elastic SAN. You should use dedicated skills like azure-blob-storage or azure-files for those specific services.

How does the skill stay updated with the latest Azure limits?

The skill uses the Microsoft Docs MCP server or WebFetch to retrieve real-time technical documentation and current service limits directly from Microsoft Learn.

What security configurations are covered?

It covers network security via private and service endpoints, as well as data-at-rest encryption using Customer-Managed Keys (CMK).

Does it support shared storage scenarios for SQL Server?

Yes, it provides specific architectural patterns for shared volumes, including guidance on failover cluster behavior and volume fencing.

Can I use this to automate storage provisioning?

Yes, it includes integration patterns and PowerShell scripts for batch-creating volumes and configuring client connections.
