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.

Base HTTP Template - Eval Summary

Coverage Status

Language Manifest Templates Eval Status
Python 5 (Bicep + TF) ✅ ✅ Verified
TypeScript 2 (Bicep) ✅ ✅ Verified
JavaScript 2 (Bicep) — 📋 AZD template exists
C# (.NET) 4 (Bicep + TF) — 📋 AZD template exists
Java 2 (Bicep) — 📋 AZD template exists
PowerShell 1 (Bicep) — 📋 AZD template exists

⚠️ Eval cost note: Each language × trigger eval requires ~5 min of agent runtime. Full matrix (6 languages × 9 triggers) = ~4.5 hours of CI. Python is verified end-to-end; other languages are confirmed available in the functions template manifest (70 templates, 6 languages). Multi-language eval expansion tracked as follow-up.

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.
