SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates Azure deployments after preparation and validation, ensuring that infrastructure and applications are deployed only when all prerequisites are met.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-deploy checks: Enforces the required validation workflow by coordinating preparation manifests, azure-validate status, and pre-deploy checklists.
  • Recipe-driven deployment: Supports multiple deployment methods (AZD, AZCLI, Bicep, Terraform) via defined recipes and reference materials.
  • Verification & safety: Provides post-deployment verification steps to confirm resources are accessible and healthy.

Quick Start

Start by verifying the preparation manifest is Validated, then run the deployment using the preferred recipe (e.g., AZD). Ensure all prerequisites are met and monitor verification steps after deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Azure deployments after infrastructure preparation is complete?

Automate Azure deployments by enforcing pre-deploy checks, using recipe-driven sequencing with AZD, AZCLI, Bicep, or Terraform, and running post-deployment verification to ensure resources are healthy and accessible.

What prerequisites do I need to deploy infrastructure and applications to Azure using AZD?

To deploy using AZD, you need a Validated preparation manifest, a completed pre-deploy checklist, and a defined deployment recipe to ensure all infrastructure and application prerequisites are met before execution.

Can I use Bicep or Terraform recipes for Azure deployment validation and sequencing?

Yes, recipe-driven deployment supports Bicep and Terraform alongside AZD and AZCLI, coordinating preparation manifests and pre-deploy checklists to sequence and validate infrastructure and application deployments to Azure.

What is the best way to verify resources are accessible after an Azure deployment?

The best way to verify Azure deployments is by running built-in post-deployment verification steps, which confirm that deployed infrastructure and applications are accessible and healthy after the recipe-driven deployment finishes.

Why does my Azure deployment fail even though I have my Bicep templates ready?

Azure deployments fail if pre-deploy checks are incomplete, requiring a Validated preparation manifest and a pre-deploy checklist before applying Bicep or Terraform recipes to ensure all prerequisites are met.

Does azure-deploy support AZCLI commands for application deployment workflows?

Yes, azure-deploy supports AZCLI commands as one of its recipe-driven deployment methods, automating Azure deployments after preparation and validation checks are fully completed for infrastructure and applications.
