Azure Deploy

Handles the actual deployment execution after you've prepared and validated your Azure application setup. Reads your existing deployment plan, runs the pre-deploy checklist including RBAC health checks for Container Apps, then executes azd up or azd deploy with built-in error recovery. Won't let you skip the validation step, which prevents most deployment failures. Includes post-deploy steps like SQL managed identity setup and EF migrations. The live role verification at the end catches permission issues that would otherwise bite you later. Straightforward if you follow the prepare-validate-deploy workflow, but it's strict about prerequisites for good reason.

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE

PREREQUISITE: The azure-validate skill MUST be invoked and completed with status Validated BEFORE executing this skill.

⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED Before proceeding, verify BOTH prerequisites are met:

azure-prepare was invoked and completed → .azure/deployment-plan.md exists

azure-validate was invoked and passed → plan status = Validated

If EITHER is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY:

No plan? → Invoke azure-prepare skill first

Status not Validated? → Invoke azure-validate skill first

⛔ DO NOT MANUALLY UPDATE THE PLAN STATUS

You are FORBIDDEN from changing the plan status to Validated yourself. Only the azure-validate skill is authorized to set this status after running actual validation checks. If you update the status without running validation, deployments will fail.

DO NOT ASSUME the app is ready. DO NOT SKIP validation to save time. Skipping steps causes deployment failures. The complete workflow ensures success:

azure-prepare → azure-validate → azure-deploy
