How does this skill handle ordered message processing?

It includes detailed guidance on using Service Bus Sessions (SessionId) and the SessionProcessor to ensure FIFO delivery and state management.

Can I use this for managing Service Bus resources?

Yes, the skill covers the ServiceBusAdministrationClient for performing CRUD operations on queues, topics, and subscriptions programmatically.

Does this skill support Microsoft Entra ID authentication?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns using Azure.Identity and DefaultAzureCredential, which is the recommended secure approach over connection strings.

What is the recommended way to process messages in the background?

The skill suggests using the ServiceBusProcessor, which handles automatic lock renewal and concurrency management better than basic receivers.

Does it provide error handling for failed messages?
