azure-enterprise-infra-planner

Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment', 'Azure Backup for VM workloads'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.

Plan approval missingmeta.status is not approvedStop and prompt user for approval before IaC generation or deployment
IaC validation failureaz bicep build or terraform validate returns errorsFix the generated code and re-validate; notify user if unresolved
Pairing constraint violationIncompatible SKU or resource combinationFix in plan before proceeding to IaC generation
Infra plan or IaC files not foundFiles written to wrong location or not createdVerify files exist at <project-root>/.azure/ and <project-root>/infra/; if missing, re-create the files by following workflow.md exactly
