Prepare azd-based Azure projects for deployment: generates azure.yaml, infrastructure (Bicep/Terraform), and Dockerfiles for the Azure Developer CLI (azd) workflow. USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.

Azure Region Availability Index

AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE — Consult service-specific files BEFORE recommending any region.

Official reference: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/table

How to Use

  1. Check if your architecture includes any limited availability services below
  2. If yes → consult the service-specific file or use the MCP tool to list supported regions with sufficient quota for that service, and only offer regions that support ALL services
  3. If all services are "available everywhere" → offer common regions

MCP Tools Used

Tool Purpose
mcp_azure_mcp_quota Check Azure region availability and quota by setting command to quota_usage_check or quota_region_availability_list

Services with LIMITED Region Availability

Service Availability Details
Static Web Apps Limited (5 regions) Region Details
Azure AI Foundry Very limited (by model) Region Details
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Limited in some regions To get available regions with enough quota, use mcp_azure_mcp_quota tool.
Azure Database for PostgreSQL Limited in some regions To get available regions with enough quota, use mcp_azure_mcp_quota tool.

Services Available in Most Regions

These services are available in all major Azure regions — no special consideration needed:

  • Container Apps
  • Azure Functions
  • App Service
  • Azure SQL Database
  • Cosmos DB
  • Key Vault
  • Storage Account
  • Service Bus
  • Event Grid
  • Application Insights / Log Analytics

What it does

Prepares Azure applications for deployment by generating infrastructure templates (Bicep or Terraform), azure.yaml configuration, and Dockerfiles. Covers new app creation, modernization, and hosting on App Service, Container Apps, or Functions—but excludes Python App Service deployments, copilot SDK apps, and cross-cloud migrations which have dedicated skills.

Generated from the current SKILL.md.

Frequently asked

Does this skill handle Python App Service deployments?
No. Use the python-appservice-deploy skill instead for Python code-only App Service deploys.
Can I use this skill for cross-cloud migration?
No. This skill is for Azure-native preparation. Use azure-cloud-migrate for migrations from AWS, GCP, or other clouds.
Does this skill support Copilot SDK apps?
No. Use azure-hosted-copilot-sdk for apps with @github/copilot-sdk or CopilotClient.
What infrastructure templates does this skill support?
Azure Developer CLI (azd), Bicep, Terraform, and Azure CLI. The skill creates infrastructure code, Dockerfiles, and configuration files—actual deployment execution is handled by the azure-deploy skill.
Does this skill delete existing project files?
No. When adding features to existing projects, it modifies files rather than deletes them. It never removes the project or workspace directory itself.
