End-to-end orchestrator: from a business idea, app idea, or existing app to running Azure deployment with cost estimates and pre-deploy approval. Analyzes your app, auto-detects the right Azure services, scaffolds infrastructure code, and deploys — tailored to your app, not a template. Handles moving existing apps to Azure without rewriting or with minimal changes. WHEN: bring your app to Azure, plan my app, cost to run, is my code ready to deploy, deploy my app to the cloud, deploy all my services, what Azure services do I need, plan my Azure deployment, deploy my new app to Azure, one-click deploy, I have an app and want it on Azure, migrate my app to Azure, help me get started, build an app, no code yet, starter project. DO NOT USE FOR: use azd for deployment(use azure-deploy), optimizing existing costs (use cost-optimization), code readiness checks only (use azure-app-onboard-prereq).

WAF Checklist

Per-pillar Well-Architected Framework alignment for AppOnboard-generated infrastructure. Use during scaffold self-review (Layer 4) and prepare validation (WAF Alignment dimension).

Reference: Azure Well-Architected Framework — link, don't duplicate. See WAF Service Guides for per-service checklists.

Reliability

  • Zone redundancy enabled for production SKUs (App Service P1v3+, SQL Premium, Redis Premium)
  • Health probes configured (Container Apps liveness/readiness, App Service /health)
  • GRS storage for production data (Standard_GRS or RA-GRS)
  • Retry policies in application code for transient failures
  • Min replicas ≥ 1 for production Container Apps (no cold-start)

Security

  • System-assigned managed identity on all services
  • Key Vault for all secrets (no inline connection strings)
  • HTTPS-only + TLS 1.2+ on all endpoints
  • No public blob access on storage accounts
  • Private endpoints where budget allows (balanced/performance tiers)
  • No administratorLogin for SQL (Entra-only auth)

Cost Optimization

  • SKU matches prepare-plan.json budget tier — no over-provisioning
  • Scale-to-zero enabled for dev/test Container Apps
  • Free tier grants applied in cost estimate (see pricing-guide.md § Free Grants Summary)
  • Reserved instances noted as option for production (don't auto-apply)

Operational Excellence

  • diagnostic-settings is not scaffolded; if the generator added one it MUST be gated behind enableDiagnostics (default false) or absent — never wired unconditionally (that blocks the first deploy).
  • Application Insights connected for APM
  • Resource tagging: app-onboard-skill, app-onboard-session-id, created-at (see bicep-patterns.md § Service Tagging or terraform-patterns.md § Resource Tags)
  • All configurable values parameterized (no hardcoded regions, names, SKUs)

Performance Efficiency

  • Autoscale rules for production SKUs (Container Apps max replicas, App Service auto-scale)
  • CDN for static assets when SPA frontend detected
  • Connection pooling for database access
  • Appropriate cache tier (Redis) when session/cache pattern detected

    This skill provides a comprehensive end-to-end orchestrator for deploying applications to Azure. It incorporates several security-focused patterns, such as secrets management via Azure Key Vault, managed identity integration, and robust preflight validation. There are some security considerations, such as a surface for indirect prompt injection during workspace analysis and broad default firewall rules, but these are managed through explicit user approval gates and documented trade-offs.
