SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Azure Prepare solves the problem of planning, validating, and scaffolding Azure deployments before code is generated.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a mandatory deployment plan before generation of infrastructure
  • Checks region quotas and availability and coordinates azure-validate before deploy
  • Guides AZD, AZCLI, Bicep, or Terraform IaC choices and ensures policy/compliance
  • Scaffolds azure.yaml and infra templates from code or existing codebases

Quick Start

Run azure-prepare to plan, validate, and scaffold Azure deployments in a single workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan Azure deployments and validate infrastructure before generating code?

Azure deployment planning requires enforcing a plan-first workflow that scaffolds infra templates, checks region quotas, and validates availability before code generation. This prevents late-stage deployment failures by coordinating IaC templates and azure.yaml generation.

What's the best way to scaffold azure.yaml and infrastructure templates for existing codebases?

Scaffolding azure.yaml and infra templates from existing codebases is handled through a coordinated workflow that guides IaC choices across AZD, AZCLI, Bicep, or Terraform. This ensures policy compliance and generates validated infrastructure files before deployment.

Does Azure deployment planning support both Bicep and Terraform infrastructure as code?

Azure deployment planning supports both Bicep and Terraform, along with AZD and AZCLI. It guides IaC template selection and applies to NEW, MODIFY, and MODERNIZE workflows to ensure policy and compliance requirements are met.

Why do I need to validate Azure region quotas before deploying infrastructure?

Validating Azure region quotas prevents deployment failures by checking availability and capacity limits before infrastructure code is generated. This plan-first approach loads references and hands off to validation steps to catch issues early.

When should I use a plan-first workflow for Azure infrastructure as code?

A plan-first workflow is needed for NEW, MODIFY, and MODERNIZE Azure deployments to prevent late-stage failures. It orchestrates validation, scaffolding, and quota checks before generating infrastructure code or deploying resources.

Can I use Azure Developer CLI to scaffold infrastructure templates for new deployments?

Azure Developer CLI is supported for scaffolding infrastructure templates alongside AZCLI, Bicep, and Terraform. The workflow generates azure.yaml files and validates templates to ensure compliance before deployment begins.
