Azure Deploy

microsoft/github-copilot-for-azureOfficial

The azure-deploy skill executes deployment operations for applications that have already been prepared with infrastructure files and a deployment plan, running commands like `azd up`, `azd deploy`, and `terraform apply` with built-in error recovery. It is designed for developers who need to push prepared applications to Azure production environments, but requires that the azure-prepare and azure-validate skills have been completed first to ensure infrastructure readiness. This skill solves the problem of safely deploying pre-validated Azure applications while preventing users from skipping critical validation steps that would cause deployment failures.

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
