SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Azure-prepare provides a structured approach to planning and generating infrastructure and configuration artifacts for Azure deployments, reducing friction and errors in the deployment process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan-first workflow: create and maintain a central .azure/plan.md before any code generation
  • Recipe selection and IaC generation: AZD/AZCLI/Bicep/Terraform guidance with artifact creation
  • Validation readiness: sequencing planning, references loading, and pre-deploy validation
  • Collaboration and governance: prompts for plan approval and staged deployment

Quick Start

Start by initiating the planning phase to create the plan and await your approval before generating artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan Azure infrastructure deployment before generating IaC code?

Azure deployment planning is automated by guiding recipe selection, creating a central plan in .azure/plan.md, and requiring your approval before generating any Bicep, Terraform, AZD, or AZCLI artifacts.

When do I need a plan-first workflow for Azure IaC generation?

A plan-first workflow is needed for NEW, MODIFY, and MODERNIZE scenarios to reduce friction and errors, ensuring infrastructure and configuration artifacts are captured and approved before validation and deployment proceed.

Does Azure deployment planning support both Bicep and Terraform?

Yes, Azure deployment planning coordinates Bicep, Terraform, AZD, and AZCLI workflows to generate infrastructure and configuration artifacts based on the approved plan.

How do I validate Azure infrastructure after creating a deployment plan?

Validation is gated by the approved plan; after the planning phase and references loading are complete, the workflow sequences pre-deploy validation to ensure readiness before staging the actual deployment.

Can I modify existing Azure infrastructure using a structured IaC approach?

Yes, the MODIFY scenario applies a structured approach by updating the .azure/plan.md file, selecting appropriate recipes, and generating the necessary configuration artifacts before requiring user approval for deployment.

What is the best way to govern Azure app deployment across multiple IaC tools?

Govern Azure app deployment by capturing all planning decisions in .azure/plan.md, prompting for plan approval, and staging deployment to coordinate Bicep, Terraform, AZD, and AZCLI workflows systematically.
