Azure Networking Services including Virtual Networks, Private Endpoints, Load Balancers, Application Gateway, Front Door, and DNS. Covers hub-spoke topology, private endpoint patterns, and network security layers. USE FOR: virtual network setup, private endpoint configuration, hub-spoke topology, VNet peering, network security groups, Azure firewall rules, load balancer setup, Application Gateway configuration, Azure Front Door, private link setup, DNS configuration, network isolation DO NOT USE FOR: compute resource configuration (use azure-create-app), Azure Functions networking (use azure-functions), database networking within postgres/cosmos (use respective skills), cost analysis (use azure-cost-optimization), resource deployment (use azure-deploy)

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Create private endpoint in your VNet
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

- Disable public access on PaaS resource
- Configure private DNS zone
- Access service via private IP

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
