Azure Database for PostgreSQL Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Database for PostgreSQL. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. 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

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
Troubleshooting	L37-L73	Diagnosing and fixing PostgreSQL issues on Azure: connectivity/TLS, HA, migration, performance (CPU/IOPS/memory/queries), autovacuum, extensions, capacity, and auth errors.
Best Practices	L74-L96	Performance, tuning, and migration best practices for Azure PostgreSQL: query optimization, pooling, extensions, upgrades, Oracle-to-Postgres, bulk load, replicas, and maintenance.
Decision Making	L97-L113	Guidance on sizing and scaling Flexible Server (compute, storage, Ultra Disk), networking/Private Link, hosting choices, replicas promotion, and PostgreSQL versioning, upgrades, and support.
Architecture & Design Patterns	L114-L125	Architectures and patterns for PostgreSQL on Azure: microservices, multitenancy, sharding, table design, caching with Redis, and using OpenAI for recommendations and semantic search.
Limits & Quotas	L126-L150	Backup, restore, PITR, geo-restore, SSD/SSDv2 limits, quotas, elastic cluster limits, connection caps, migration/conversion limitations, and storage performance/autogrow settings.
Security	L151-L182	Securing Azure Database for PostgreSQL: identity (managed/Entra), auth (SCRAM, roles), network (firewall, Private Link, TLS), encryption, auditing, Defender, and policy-based hardening.
Configuration	L183-L269	Configuring Azure Database for PostgreSQL servers: maintenance windows, extensions, tuning (autovacuum, Query Store, planner), logging/metrics, networking, HA, replication, VS Code tools, and CLI-based management.
Integrations & Coding Patterns	L270-L295	Patterns and code for integrating Azure PostgreSQL with AI/ML (Language, AML, LangChain, Foundry, MCP), vector search (pgvector, DiskANN), SDK automation, Data Factory, CLI, and VS Code/Copilot tools.
Deployment	L296-L304	Deploying and migrating PostgreSQL to Azure: CI/CD with Azure Pipelines, offline migrations from Aurora/RDS/on-prem/VM, VNet-to-private endpoint moves, and point-in-time restore.
