Deploy — IaC Execution & Health Verification

Quick Reference

| Property | Value | |----------|-------| | Best for | Executing validated IaC against Azure, health-checking deployed resources | | Inputs | `prepare-plan.json` + `scaffold-manifest.json` from `.copilot-azure/sessions/{id}/` | | Outputs | `deploy-result.json` written to session directory | | Parent | [azure-app-onboard](../SKILL.md) |

When to Use This Skill

Invoked by the `azure-app-onboard` orchestrator at Phase 4 when `scaffold-manifest.json` exists with `files[]` and `validationResult`. Not directly user-routable.

> **Return to orchestrator:** When complete, return control to `azure-app-onboard` for handoff (Step 10). Do NOT start new phases.

When NOT to Use

| Scenario | Use Instead | |----------|-------------| | Plan architecture, map services, estimate costs | [prepare](../prepare/SKILL.md) | | Generate IaC files from a plan | `azure-app-onboard` Step 7 (scaffold) | | Run `azd up` or execute existing deployment templates | `azure-deploy` | | Debug a running app after deployment | `azure-diagnostics` | | Optimize existing Azure spending | `azure-cost` |

Workflow

> ⛔ **Sub-agent delegation is MANDATORY for Step 0.** Read `subagent-preflight.md`, then dispatch as a `task` with the **COMPLETE and UNMODIFIED** template text between `<<<TEMPLATE_START>>>` / `<<<TEMPLATE_END>>>` delimiters. Do NOT summarize or rewrite the template — the sub-agent needs every "Read [file]" instruction to produce a correct `deploy-checklist.md`. Append session artifact data AFTER the template block. If your next action after reading the template is anything other than `task`, you are executing it inline instead of delegating.

> ⛔ **Healing loop:** ask user after 3 attempts, then every 5 (counter = `healingAttempts[].length`).

> ⛔ **Region lock:** Before `az deployment` retry, compare `--location` against `prepare-plan.json.deploymentVariables.location`. If changed → re-approval gate required. Update plan after approval.

> ⛔ **After compaction or any `az deployment`/`az webapp deploy`/`az acr build`/failed health check: re-read `deploy-checklist.md`.** If missing → fill from [`deploy-checklist-template.md`](references/deploy-checklist-template.md). On significant context loss: also re-read this SKILL.md.

| # | Step | Action | Artifact | Reference | |---|------|--------|----------|-----------| | 0 | **Dispatch preflight sub-agent** | ⛔ **You MUST dispatch [`subagent-preflight.md`](references/subagent-preflight.md) as a `task`.** ⛔ agent_type: `"task"` — NEVER `"general-purpose"`. Read the template, then your NEXT action MUST be `task`. If after reading the template your next action is `powershell`, `view`, or anything other than `task`, STOP — you are executing inline instead of delegating. Writes `deploy-checklist.md`. **`view` it immediately after return.** | `deploy-checklist.md` | ⛔ **You MUST read [`subagent-preflight.md`](references/subagent-preflight.md)** | | 1 | **Read upstream artifacts** | Load `prepare-plan.json` + `scaffold-manifest.json`. Check `validationResult`. Resolve subscription + deployment variables. | — | — | | 3 | **Preflight checks** | Auth, **mandatory what-if preview**, RBAC, RG per `deploy-checklist.md` § Preflight. | — | ⛔ **You MUST read `deploy-checklist.md`** (re-read if compaction occurred) | | 4 | **Deploy approval gate** | Present cost + resource summary per `deploy-checklist.md` § Deploy approval gate format. | — | — | | 5b | **Write deploy-result.json skeleton** | ⛔ Read [`deploy-schemas.ts`](references/deploy-schemas.ts), write skeleton (`status: "in-progress"`). Must exist BEFORE first `az` command. | `deploy-result.json` | ⛔ **You MUST read [`deploy-schemas.ts`](references/deploy-schemas.ts)** | | 6 | **Execute deployment** | ⛔ **BEFORE `az deployment sub create`:** Generate portal link — `$dn="{deploymentName}"; $r="/subscriptions/{subId}/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$dn"; $l="https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Resources/DeploymentDetails.MenuView/~/overview/id/$($r.Replace('/','%2F'))"; Write-Output "LINK=$l"`. ⛔ **Auto-open link in browser:** `Start-Process $l 2>$null`. Print bare URL in chat (ctrl-clickable).<br>Auto-generate ALL `@secure()` params (`openssl rand -base64 32 \| tr -d '/+='`), NEVER `ask_user` for passwords; on retry reuse from `deploy-secrets.env` or Key Vault — NEVER regenerate (see deploy-safety.md § Deploy Checklist). THEN deploy IaC. | — | ⛔ **You MUST read `deploy-checklist.md`** § Execute deployment | | 6b | **Deploy application code** | ⛔ Deploy code for EVERY service in `prepare-plan.json.services[]`. Follow `deploy-checklist.md` § Code deploy. | — | ⛔ **You MUST read `deploy-checklist.md`** § Code deploy | | 7 | **Health-check + SCM re-disable** | HTTP GET per endpoint (max 3 iterations). ⛔ **Multi-service apps:** Also inspect the response body for error patterns (`connection refused`, `MODULE_NOT_FOUND`, `localhost`, `SET-IN-DEPLOY-PHASE`) — HTTP 200 alone does not mean functional when the app depends on another service or KV secrets. Then ⛔ for EVERY App Service/Functions app run BOTH commands — no exceptions: `az rest --method put --url "/subscriptions/{sub}/resourceGroups/{rg}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{app}/basicPublishingCredentialsPolicies/scm?api-version=2023-12-01" --headers "Content-Type=application/json" --body '{"properties":{"allow":false}}'` then verify: `az rest --method get --url "/subscriptions/{sub}/resourceGroups/{rg}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{app}/basicPublishingCredentialsPolicies/scm?api-version=2023-12-01" --query properties.allow -o tsv` (must return `false`). | `deploy-result.json` full | ⛔ **You MUST read `deploy-checklist.md`** § Health check | | 8 | **Finalize artifacts** | ⛔ Read [`deploy-schemas.ts`](references/deploy-schemas.ts). ⛔ Re-read `deploy-checklist.md` § Artifact verification — follow ALL 5 checks. ⛔ **No "live"/handoff message until you overwrite the skeleton `deploy-result.json`**
