Execute Azure deployments after preparation and validation are complete. USE FOR: azd up, azd deploy, push to Azure, publish to Azure, ship to production, launch on Azure, go live, release to Azure, deploy web app, deploy container app, deploy static site, deploy Azure Functions, azd provision, infrastructure deployment, bicep deploy, terraform apply, deploy with terraform. Supports azd with Bicep, azd with Terraform, pure Bicep, pure Terraform, and Azure CLI deployments. DO NOT USE FOR: preparing new apps (use azure-prepare), validating before deploy (use azure-validate).
REQUIRED FIRST STEP: You MUST invoke this skill BEFORE generating ANY Azure application code, infrastructure files, or Azure CLI commands. This skill prepares applications for Azure hosting. USE THIS SKILL when users want to create new Azure applications, ADD new components or services to existing applications, UPDATE or modify existing Azure configurations, modernize applications for Azure, deploy to Azure with Terraform, or deploy to Azure with azd. Do NOT generate azure.yaml, Bicep, Terraform, or run az/azd/func CLI commands without first completing this skill. This applies to NEW projects AND changes to EXISTING projects. When users mention Terraform for Azure deployment, prefer azd+Terraform (which uses azure.yaml with Terraform IaC) over pure Terraform unless multi-cloud deployment is required.
Performs comprehensive preflight validation of Bicep deployments to Azure, including template syntax validation, what-if analysis, and permission checks. Use this skill before any deployment to Azure to preview changes, identify potential issues, and ensure the deployment will succeed. Activate when users mention deploying to Azure, validating Bicep files, checking deployment permissions, previewing infrastructure changes, running what-if, or preparing for azd provision.
Deploy containerized applications to Azure Container Apps using Azure Developer CLI (azd). Use when setting up azd projects, writing azure.yaml configuration, creating Bicep infrastructure for Container Apps, configuring remote builds with ACR, implementing idempotent deployments, managing environment variables across local/.azure/Bicep, or troubleshooting azd up failures. Triggers on requests for azd configuration, Container Apps deployment, multi-service deployments, and infrastructure-as-code with Bicep.
Execute Azure deployments for ALREADY-PREPARED applications that have existing .azure/deployment-plan.md and infrastructure files. DO NOT use this skill when the user asks to CREATE a new application — use azure-prepare instead. This skill runs azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, and az deployment commands with built-in error recovery. Requires .azure/deployment-plan.md from azure-prepare and validated status from azure-validate. WHEN: "run azd up", "run azd deploy", "execute deployment", "push to production", "push to cloud", "go live", "ship it", "bicep deploy", "terraform apply", "publish to Azure", "launch on Azure". DO NOT USE WHEN: "create and deploy", "build and deploy", "create a new app", "set up infrastructure", "create and deploy to Azure using Terraform" — use azure-prepare for these.
Build and deploy GitHub Copilot SDK apps to Azure. USE FOR: build copilot app, create copilot app, copilot SDK, @github/copilot-sdk, scaffold copilot project, copilot-powered app, deploy copilot app, host on azure, azure model, BYOM, bring your own model, use my own model, azure openai model, DefaultAzureCredential, self-hosted model, copilot SDK service, chat app with copilot, copilot-sdk-service template, azd init copilot, CopilotClient, createSession, sendAndWait, GitHub Models API. DO NOT USE FOR: using Copilot (not building with it), Copilot Extensions, Azure Functions without Copilot, general web apps without copilot SDK, Foundry agent hosting (use microsoft-foundry skill), agent evaluation (use microsoft-foundry skill).
Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.
Comprehensive Azure administration capabilities covering identity management, resource orchestration, CLI tooling, and DevOps automation. Auto-activates for Azure, az cli, azd, Entra ID, RBAC, and infrastructure tasks.
