azd-patterns

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces failed or confusing Azure Developer CLI (azd) Container Apps Job deployments by documenting proven hook patterns, identity/RBAC conventions, and troubleshooting steps when jobs fail silently or show missing logs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• azd hook patterns for ACA Jobs: Use postdeploy/postprovision hooks to update job container images and handle cross-platform deployment scripting.
• Image lifecycle correctness: Apply the placeholder image pattern safely and ensure required tagging (notably azd-service-name) so azd deploy can patch the real image.
• RBAC and Managed Identity guidance: Standardize User-Assigned Managed Identity and role assignment practices, including AcrPull coverage for the correct workload identities.
• Debug playbook for silent ACA Job failures: Diagnose missing Log Analytics signals, image pull errors, import-time crashes, and misrouted telemetry using a tiered “cheap to expensive” ladder.

Quick Start

Use the azd-patterns skill to structure your azure.yaml services and add a postdeploy hook so your ACA Job updates its image correctly after azd deploy.
