azure-local-multi-rack
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.

Multi-rack is in preview — say so, and confirm availability from the docs before committing to a design. | Property | Value | | --- | --- | | Best for | Rack-scale Azure Local: 100+ machines, preintegrated racks, SAN, managed fabric | | Scale | Minimum four racks — one aggregation rack plus three or more compute racks | | Providers | Microsoft.NetworkCloud, Microsoft.ManagedNetworkFabric, Microsoft.AzureStackHCI | | CLI | az networkcloud, az networkfabric, az stack-hci-vm | | Related skill | azure-local for standard 1-16 node and rack-aware deployments | Use when the deployment is multi-rack / rack scale: preintegrated racks, an aggregation rack, a Network Fabric Controller, a Cluster Manager, SAN storage, or the networkcloud / managednetworkfabric CLI extensions. Do not use for standard Azure Local (1-16 node hyperconverged, up to 64 disaggregated) or rack-aware clusters — hand off to the azure-local skill. If the scale is unclear, ask first: the two have separate, non-interchangeable procedures for the same-sounding tasks (logical networks, VM creation, NSGs). No dedicated MCP namespace. Use generic Azure MCP tools: mcpazuremcpextensioncligenerate (confirm networkcloud/networkfab
