# Azure Deploy

> **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:
>
> 1. **azure-prepare** was invoked and completed → `.azure/deployment-plan.md` exists
> 2. **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`

## Triggers

Activate this skill when user wants to:
- Execute deployment of an already-prepared application (azure.yaml and infra/ exist)
- Push updates to an existing Azure deployment
- Run `azd up`, `azd deploy`, or `az deployment` on a prepared project
- Ship already-built code to production
- Deploy an application that already includes API Management (APIM) gateway infrastructure

> **Scope**: This skill executes deployments. It does not create applications, generate infrastructure code, or scaffold projects. For those tasks, use **azure-prepare**.

> **APIM / AI Gateway**: Use this skill to deploy applications whose APIM/AI gateway infrastructure was already created during **azure-prepare**. For creating or changing APIM resources, see [APIM deployment guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/api-management/get-started-create-service-instance). For AI governance policies, invoke **azure-aigateway** skill.

## Rules

1. Run after azure-prepare and azure-validate
2. `.azure/deployment-plan.md` must exist with status `Validated`
3. **Pre-deploy checklist required** — [Pre-Deploy Checklist](references/pre-deploy-checklist.md)
4. ⛔ **Destructive actions require `ask_user`** — [global-rules](references/global-rules.md)
5. **Scope: deployment execution only** — This skill owns execution of `azd up`, `azd deploy`, `terraform apply`, and `az deployment` commands. These commands are run through this skill's error recovery and verification pipeline.

## Steps

| # | Action | Reference |
|---|--------|-----------|
| 1 | **Check Plan** — Read `.azure/deployment-plan.md`, verify status = `Validated` AND **Validation Proof** section is populated | `.azure/deployment-plan.md` |
| 2 | **Pre-Deploy Checklist** — MUST complete ALL steps | [Pre-Deploy Checklist](references/pre-deploy-checklist.md) |
| 3 | **Load Recipe** — Based on `recipe.type` in `.azure/deployment-plan.md` | [recipes/README.md](references/recipes/README.md) |
| 4 | **RBAC Health Check** — For Container Apps + ACR with managed identity: run `azd provision --no-prompt`, then verify `AcrPull` role has propagated before proceeding (see checklist) | [Pre-Deploy Checklist — Container Apps RBAC](references/pre-deploy-checklist.md#container-apps--acr--pre-deploy-rbac-health-check) |
| 5 | **Execute Deploy** — Follow recipe steps | Recipe README |
| 6 | **Post-Deploy** — Configure SQL managed identity and apply EF migrations if applicable | [Post-Deployment](references/recipes/azd/post-deployment.md) |
| 7 | **Handle Errors** — See recipe's `errors.md` | — |
| 8 | **Verify Success** — Confirm deployment completed and endpoints are accessible | [Verification](references/recipes/azd/verify.md) |
| 9 | **Live Role Verification** — Query Azure to confirm provisioned RBAC roles are correct and sufficient | [live-role-verification.md](references/live-role-verification.md) |
| 10 | **Report Results** — Present deployed endpoint URLs to the user as fully-qualified `https://` links | [Verification](references/recipes/azd/verify.md) |

> **⛔ URL FORMAT RULE**
>
> When presenting endpoint URLs to the user, you **MUST** always use fully-qualified URLs with the `https://` scheme (e.g. `https://myapp.azurewebsites.net`, not `myapp.azurewebsites.net`). Many Azure CLI commands return bare hostnames without a scheme — always prepend `https://` before presenting them.

> **⛔ VALIDATION PROOF CHECK**
>
> When checking the plan, verify the **Validation Proof** section (Section 7) contains actual validation results with commands run and timestamps. If this section is empty, validation was bypassed — invoke **azure-validate** skill first.
