What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides standardized, safe, and efficient patterns for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments on Azure, ensuring consistency and reducing common errors across Bicep and Terraform.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Authentication Validation: Ensures robust Azure CLI authentication before deployments.
• Deployment Strategies: Defines phased and single deployment approaches for better control.
• Known Issues & Workarounds: Centralizes common problems and their solutions for both Bicep and Terraform.
• Governance Mapping: Translates Azure Policy constraints into IaC properties.
• Circuit Breaker: Implements safety mechanisms to halt deployments upon repeated failures.
• Use Case: When deploying a new Azure environment, use this Skill to ensure the deploy agent validates authentication correctly, follows a phased deployment strategy, and automatically applies workarounds for known issues like stale tokens in devcontainers.

Quick Start

Ensure the deploy agent validates Azure CLI authentication using the two-step check before proceeding with any deployment.
