Azure hub

The root card of the Azure hub — documentation that helps an AI coding agent make Azure calls succeed (fix a failed call, write one that works first time, wire two services together), built family by family from Microsoft's source repositories at pinned commits and checked against the Azure CLI, REST specs and TypeScript SDK. Parent of the Fabric, AKS, Databricks and Synapse hubs. Start at _boot/START.md.

This hub documents Microsoft Azure for an AI coding agent: how to fix a call that failed, how to write a call or template that works the first time, and how one service hands off to another. It documents and never acts.

Start at _boot/START.md. It explains the layout, the rules that always apply and the calls that read the hub.

The map, with each service's guides, error catalogues and patterns, is reference/overview/services-and-identities.md. Code is TypeScript on Node.js with the @azure/* SDKs, the Azure CLI and Bicep. The hub assumes the global Azure cloud.

Child hubs, which inherit this one: Fabric (with Power BI), AKS, Databricks, Synapse.
