About this skill

Azure Site Recovery Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Site Recovery. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

  • Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
  • Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Category Lines Description
Troubleshooting L37-L61 Diagnosing and fixing Azure Site Recovery issues across Azure, Hyper-V, and VMware, including replication, connectivity, agents/extensions, failover/failback, and common error codes.
Best Practices L62-L67 Guidance on tuning Azure Site Recovery performance: analyzing high data churn on VMs, and monitoring/troubleshooting process server health, capacity, and throughput.
Decision Making L68-L85 Planning and sizing Azure Site Recovery for DR: choosing tools (ASR vs Azure Migrate), VM sizes, failback types, managed disk and DR costs, and using/reading Deployment Planner reports for Hyper-V/VMware.
Architecture & Design Patterns L86-L97 Design patterns and reference architectures for using Azure Site Recovery to protect networks and complex apps (SAP, SharePoint, IIS, Dynamics AX, SQL, file servers) and build end-to-end DR solutions.
Limits & Quotas L98-L109 Limits, support matrices, and constraints for Azure Site Recovery (Azure-to-Azure, Hyper-V, VMware/physical), high-churn VMs, shared disks, Backup coexistence, planner limits, and Mobility service impact.
Security L110-L122 Encrypting and securing ASR: configuring ADE/CMK encryption, NSGs, TLS, RBAC, trusted launch, VMware-to-Azure security, and migrating from legacy Run As to managed identities.
Configuration L123-L166 Configuring Azure Site Recovery for VMware/Hyper-V/Azure VMs: networking, IPs, disks, appliances, policies, monitoring, and DR setup for AVS, Extended Zones, and shared/clustered workloads.
Integrations & Coding Patterns L167-L183 Automating and integrating Azure Site Recovery using PowerShell, ARM/Bicep/Terraform, ExpressRoute, Traffic Manager, and runbooks, including Hyper-V, VMware, shared disk, and Azure VM DR setups.
Deployment L184-L190 Configuring and running ASR deployments: enabling Azure-to-Azure and VMware-to-Azure VM replication, executing DR migrations, and performing reprotect/failback of Azure VMs.
