Azure Local skills covering standard deployments (Azure Stack HCI, 1-16 node hyperconverged, rack-aware clusters) and multi-rack (rack scale) deployments built on Network Fabric Controller, Cluster Manager, and managed network fabric.
Plan, deploy, operate, and troubleshoot Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI): sizing and prerequisites, Arc registration, lifecycle updates, workloads (Azure Local VMs, AKS on Azure Local, images, disks, logical networks), SDN and network security, and failure triage — starting read-only and confirming before risky changes. WHEN: Azure Local, Azure Stack HCI, Arc resource bridge, custom location, Azure Local VM, Arc VM, AKS on Azure Local, AKS hybrid, SDN, Lifecycle Manager, Azure Local update, disconnected site.
Plan, deploy, operate, and troubleshoot multi-rack (rack scale) deployments of Azure Local — preintegrated racks scaling to hundreds of machines, built on Network Fabric Controller, Cluster Manager, SAN storage, and managed network fabric. Use for the Microsoft.NetworkCloud and Microsoft.ManagedNetworkFabric control plane. NOT for standard 1-16 node Azure Local, and NOT for rack-aware clusters (two racks as availability zones, up to 8 nodes, synchronous replication) — those are standard scale. WHEN: multi-rack, rack scale Azure Local, aggregation rack, compute rack, Network Fabric Controller, NFC, Cluster Manager, network fabric, isolation domain, az networkcloud, az networkfabric, multi-rack logical network, multi-rack Arc VM.
