SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines Azure deployment and infrastructure provisioning, reducing manual setup and configuration drift by guiding users through Azure Developer CLI (azd) and Bicep templates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IaC-Driven Deployments: Bootstraps environments with azure.yaml, infra/, src/, enabling repeatable deployments for Static Web Apps, Container Apps, and Foundry integrations.
  • End-to-End Delivery: Connects frontend with backend services, including Azure Storage, PostgreSQL, and AI services, with post-provision hooks.
  • CI/CD Readiness: Provides templates and references (references/github-actions.md) to wire automated deployment pipelines.

Quick Start

Initialize an azd project, login, create a development environment, then deploy the stack with azd up. Example sequence: azd init; azd auth login; azd env new dev; azd up
