--- name: azure-queue-storage description: Expert knowledge for Azure Queue Storage development including best practices, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. Use when managing queue auth (Entra ID/RBAC), monitoring metrics/logs, tuning throughput/limits, or coding with SDKs, and other Azure Queue Storage related development tasks. Not for Azure Blob Storage (use azure-blob-storage), Azure Table Storage (use azure-table-storage), Azure Service Bus (use azure-service-bus), Azure Event Hubs (use azure-event-hubs). compatibility: Requires network access. Uses mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage to retrieve documentation. metadata: generated_at: "2026-02-28" generator: "docs2skills/1.0.0" --- # Azure Queue Storage Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Queue Storage. Covers best practices, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. 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](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md) 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 Index | Category | Lines | Description | |----------|-------|-------------| | Best Practices | L33-L39 | Monitoring, securing, and tuning Azure Queue Storage: metrics/logging, alerts, encryption, access control, and performance/scalability patterns and checklists. | | Limits & Quotas | L40-L45 | Queue throughput, scalability targets, and limits on queue size, message size, and capacity planning for Azure Queue Storage | | Security | L46-L59 | Using Entra ID/RBAC/ABAC for queue data access, configuring auth in CLI/Portal/PowerShell, client-side encryption, and migrating Queue apps to passwordless authentication | | Configuration | L60-L65 | Configuring and interpreting monitoring for Azure Queue Storage, including metrics, logs, diagnostic settings, and detailed reference for all queue monitoring data fields. | | Integrations & Coding Patterns | L66-L74 | Client library how-tos for using Azure Queue Storage with .NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, and PowerShell, including setup, auth, CRUD operations, and common coding patterns. | ### Best Practices | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Best practices for monitoring Queue Storage | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/queues-storage-monitoring-scenarios | | Apply security best practices to Queue Storage | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/security-recommendations | | Performance and scalability checklist for queues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/storage-performance-checklist | ### Limits & Quotas | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Queue Storage scalability and performance targets | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/scalability-targets | | Understand Azure Queue Storage size limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/storage-queues-introduction | ### Security | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Assign Azure RBAC roles for queue data access | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/assign-azure-role-data-access | | Authorize Azure Queue Storage with Entra ID and RBAC | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/authorize-access-azure-active-directory | | Authorize queue data operations with Azure CLI | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/authorize-data-operations-cli | | Authorize queue data access in Azure portal | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/authorize-data-operations-portal | | Use Entra credentials with PowerShell for queues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/authorize-data-operations-powershell | | Configure client-side encryption for Queue Storage | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/client-side-encryption | | Migrate Queue Storage apps to passwordless auth | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/passwordless-migrate-queues | | Use ABAC role assignment conditions for queues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/queues-auth-abac | | Actions and attributes for Queue Storage ABAC | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/queues-auth-abac-attributes | | Example ABAC role conditions for Queue Storage | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/queues-auth-abac-examples | ### Configuration | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Configure monitoring for Azure Queue Storage | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/monitor-queue-storage | | Reference for Queue Storage monitoring data | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/monitor-queue-storage-reference | ### Integrations & Coding Patterns | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Manage Azure Queue Storage with PowerShell | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/storage-powershell-how-to-use-queues | | Use Azure Queue Storage .NET client library | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/storage-quickstart-queues-dotnet | | Use Azure Queue Storage Java client library | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/storage-quickstart-queues-java | | Use Azure Queue Storage JavaScript client library | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/storage-quickstart-queues-nodejs | | Use Azure Queue Storage Python client library | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/storage-quickstart-queues-python | | Work with Azure Queue Storage in .NET | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/storage-tutorial-queues |
