What problem does it solve?

Deploying infrastructure, container images, and application updates to Azure is complex, error-prone, and consists of many coordinated steps; this skill automates and sequences those steps with safety checks and rollback capability to reduce human error and downtime.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Orchestrated pipeline: Runs staged PowerShell deployment scripts to bootstrap resources, deploy Bicep templates, configure RBAC and Key Vault, and perform final build-and-deploy stages.
• Container lifecycle: Builds backend and frontend Docker images, pushes to ACR, updates App Service container settings, and restarts apps using managed identity-based pulls.
• Safety and day-2 operations: Supports WhatIf previews, delta deployments, targeted service updates, extensive post-deploy health checks, and automated rollback to previous image tags.
• Use Case: Deploy a production backend and two frontends with database migrations, secrets configured in Key Vault, and immutable timestamped image tags while validating all prerequisites.

Quick Start

Run the deploy pipeline with the production environment file to build images, push to ACR, deploy Bicep templates, configure services, and run health checks.
