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

1. Interview - Gather requirements + select architecture pattern
2. MCP Tools - Fetch latest AVM/schema info
3. Scaffold - Generate environment folder via scripts/scaffold_environment.ps1
4. Implement - Write Bicep with AVM modules + VM init
5. CI/CD - Generate pipeline templates
6. 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)
microsoft_docs_search(query: "Private Endpoint Bicep")
