SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The preflight skill helps teams prevent deployment failures by validating Bicep templates, performing what-if analyses, and verifying permissions before Azure deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Syntax validation: Validate Bicep syntax to catch errors early.
  • What-if simulation: Preview changes to resources prior to deployment.
  • Permission checks: Verify RBAC permissions and provide fallbacks when insufficient.
  • Use Case: Before an azd provision or az deployment, generate a detailed preflight report to guide remediation.

Quick Start

Describe the Azure deployment you want to validate and let the skill generate the preflight report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Azure Bicep templates before deployment?

Azure preflight validation catches deployment failures early by performing Bicep syntax checks, what-if simulations, and RBAC permission verification before execution. It outputs a consolidated preflight report to guide remediation for both azd projects and standalone deployments.

Can I preview Azure resource changes prior to running a Bicep deployment?

A Bicep what-if simulation previews resource changes by calculating the delta between your current Azure state and proposed template. This preflight analysis generates a detailed report showing resource modifications before execution.

How do I check Azure RBAC permissions before running an azd provision?

Azure preflight validation verifies RBAC permissions by checking your current access levels against the resources defined in your Bicep templates. If permissions are insufficient, the preflight report provides fallback actions to ensure successful deployment.

Do I need Bicep CLI and Azure CLI installed to run preflight checks?

Yes, Bicep CLI and Azure CLI or azd are required dependencies to run preflight checks. These tools provide the underlying command-line execution needed to perform syntax validation and generate what-if analysis reports.

What is the best way to prevent Azure deployment failures with Bicep?

Running preflight validation is the best way to prevent Azure deployment failures with Bicep. It combines syntax checks, what-if analysis, and RBAC permission verification into a consolidated preflight report to identify and guide remediation.
