Core Features & Use Cases

  • azure.yaml Configuration: Learn how to set up the azure.yaml file for Bicep or Terraform projects.
  • Post-Provision Hooks: Understand how to use shell scripts to perform actions after infrastructure is provisioned.
  • Deployment Lifecycle Management: Get a clear overview of the azd up process, from provisioning to post-provision hooks.
  • Use Case: You need to deploy a new web application to Azure. This Skill will guide you through setting up your azure.yaml, defining your Bicep infrastructure, and configuring post-provision hooks to set environment variables like a webhook URL.

Quick Start

Use the azd-deployment skill to provision your Azure infrastructure by running azd up.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy an application to Azure using the Azure Developer CLI?▼

Deploy applications to Azure using the Azure Developer CLI by configuring the `azure.yaml` file, defining Bicep or Terraform infrastructure, and running `azd up` to provision and deploy. The CLI manages the entire deployment lifecycle automatically.

What is the `azure.yaml` file used for in azd deployments?▼

The `azure.yaml` file configures Azure Developer CLI deployments for Bicep or Terraform projects. It defines infrastructure paths, services, and post-provision hooks, enabling automated provisioning and application deployment workflows.

Can I use Terraform instead of Bicep for infrastructure as code with azd?▼

Yes, the Azure Developer CLI supports both Bicep and Terraform for infrastructure as code. You configure your preferred infrastructure tool in the `azure.yaml` file to provision Azure resources during the `azd up` process.

How do I run shell scripts after Azure infrastructure is provisioned with azd?▼

Configure post-provision hooks in `azure.yaml` to run shell scripts after Azure infrastructure is provisioned. These hooks execute actions like setting environment variables or webhook URLs once the `azd up` deployment completes.

What does the azd up deployment lifecycle include?▼

The `azd up` deployment lifecycle includes provisioning Azure infrastructure using Bicep or Terraform, deploying application code, and executing post-provision hooks defined in `azure.yaml` for final configuration steps.

Do I need to write infrastructure as code before using the Azure Developer CLI?▼

Yes, you need Bicep or Terraform infrastructure as code files before deploying with the Azure Developer CLI. The tool provisions Azure resources based on these files referenced in your `azure.yaml` configuration during the `azd up` process.
