Microsoft just open-sourced Azure Skills, a set of Azure-specific capabilities that help coding agents deploy, diagnose, monitor, and manage cloud resources.

It includes 25 Azure-focused skills that connect to live Azure context through MCP-backed tools, so your agent can understand what is running, reason about the right next step, and take informed action directly.

Pair it with the GitHub Copilot CLI and you can accomplish Azure tasks right from your terminal with natural language.
