azure-validate

To validate Azure deployment readiness, run automated post-prepare checks against your Bicep or Terraform configurations and azure.yaml file. This enforces prerequisites, policy validations, and preflight checks across subscription and region constraints before deployment.

Preflight checks for Azure Bicep and Terraform deployments verify infrastructure definitions, permissions, and policy compliance. They ensure target regions and subscription constraints are met, preventing misconfigurations, failed deployments, and security gaps.

Yes, Azure validation requires a valid .azure/plan.md file with a status of Approved or higher. This enforces the azure-prepare → azure-validate → azure-deploy sequence, ensuring infrastructure readiness is verified before deployment proceeds.

Yes, Azure validation supports both Terraform and Bicep configurations. It verifies your infrastructure definitions and azure.yaml configurations against requirements to ensure target regions have proper permissions and resources in place.

Azure deployment validation fails when prerequisites are unmet, such as a missing or unapproved .azure/plan.md file. It also fails if Bicep or Terraform configurations violate policy constraints or lack proper permissions for the target region.

The best way to enforce Azure deployment prerequisites is using an automated validation workflow that checks plan verification, preflight status, and policy validations. This repeatable process catches misconfigurations before they reach production.
