SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the execution and verification of Azure deployments for applications that have already been prepared, preventing failed or unsafe deployments caused by skipped validation or missing environment configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic Deployment Execution: Runs azd up, azd deploy, az deployment, and terraform apply according to a recipe defined in the plan.
  • Safety & Validation: Enforces that .azure/plan.md exists with status Validated, requires the pre-deploy checklist, and mandates ask_user confirmations for destructive actions.
  • Post-Deploy Tasks & Verification: Performs post-deployment steps such as SQL managed identity configuration and EF Core migrations, verifies endpoints, and reports fully-qualified https:// URLs to the user.

Quick Start

Run the azure-deploy skill to execute azd up or terraform apply for the prepared project after confirming .azure/plan.md is Validated and return the deployed https:// endpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute Azure deployments with azd and terraform after validation?

Azure deployments are executed using azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, or az deployment commands, but only after the project's .azure/plan.md file has a Validated status and the pre-deploy checklist is enforced.

How does EF Core migration run after an Azure deployment?

EF Core migrations are applied as a post-deploy task once the infrastructure is provisioned, ensuring the database schema is updated safely after the Azure deployment completes.

Do I need a validated plan.md file to run azd up for my application?

Yes, a .azure/plan.md file with a Validated status is strictly required before executing any Azure deployment to ensure the environment is fully configured and safe.

Can I use this to deploy applications to APIM-aware environments?

Yes, the deployment execution supports APIM-aware deployments, applying the necessary infrastructure artifacts and returning fully-qualified https:// endpoints after successful provisioning.

Why does my Azure deployment require manual confirmation for destructive actions?

Manual ask_user confirmations are mandated for destructive actions to prevent unsafe infrastructure changes, ensuring the pre-deploy checklist is reviewed before applying terraform or azd commands.

What is the best way to verify Azure deployment endpoints after applying terraform?

The deployment process verifies endpoints automatically after execution and presents fully-qualified https:// URLs to the user, confirming that the Azure infrastructure is live and accessible.
