Use this workflow when planning, preparing, or deploying a multi-rack instance. Fetch current procedures through docs-map before giving step-by-step commands.
Multi-rack is in preview. Confirm regional availability and supported configurations before committing to a design.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is this multi-rack or standard Azure Local? | Determines which skill and procedure set applies. Standard deployments use the azure-local skill. |
| Target Azure region | NFC and Cluster Manager must exist in the target region. |
| Existing NFC/CM pair? | Reused across deployments until cluster quota is reached. |
| Rack count and layout | Minimum four racks: one aggregation rack plus three or more compute racks. |
| Hardware BOM status | Multi-rack uses a prescriptive BOM from a Microsoft hardware partner. |
| Connectivity and identity model | Affects provider registration, permissions, and fabric design. |
| Workload profile | VMs, AKS, GPU needs drive capacity and network design. |
