## Overview

This repository is an open-source Azure documentation corpus, not an application runtime. Its visible content spans identity, API management and discovery, App Service, and Analysis Services. The usual user outcome is finding guidance for an Azure product or task; contributors use the README’s contribution guidance to make or report changes. The supplied excerpts contain no source relationships, so the graph shows only the documented reader-to-corpus relationship and does not infer links among article areas.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/microsoftdocs/azure-docs/blob/main/README.md) (Azure documentation)
