Azure Environment Builder
Enterprise Azure environment builder skill.
When to Use
- Azure, Bicep, infrastructure, deploy app
- Building enterprise Azure environments
- Deploying apps to App Service, AKS, or Container Apps
- Designing Hub-Spoke, AKS, or AI Foundry architectures
Features
| Category | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Architecture | Hub-Spoke, Web+DB, AKS, AI Foundry |
| AVM Modules | 200+ Azure Verified Modules |
| VM Init | Squid, Nginx, Docker, IIS setup |
| Config Linking | SQL/Storage/Redis, Managed ID RBAC |
| CI/CD | GitHub Actions / Azure Pipelines |
Workflow
- Interview - Gather requirements + select architecture pattern
- MCP Tools - Fetch latest AVM/schema info
- Scaffold - Generate environment folder via
scripts/scaffold_environment.ps1 - Implement - Write Bicep with AVM modules + VM init
- CI/CD - Generate pipeline templates
- Deploy - what-if → execute
Required: MCP Tools
Run before generating Bicep code:
mcp_bicep_experim_get_bicep_best_practices
mcp_bicep_experim_list_avm_metadata
mcp_bicep_experim_get_az_resource_type_schema(azResourceType, apiVersion)
