--- name: azure-bicep-deploy description: Deploy and validate Azure Bicep files and ARM templates. Use for: (1) Deploying Bicep (.bicep) or ARM (JSON) templates to Azure, (2) Validating Bicep/ARM templates for syntax errors, (3) Creating Azure resources via Bicep, (4) Managing multi-environment deployments (dev/staging/prod) via parameters. Supports Azure Container Apps commonly used workloads. Prerequisites: Azure CLI (az) installed, Azure CLI authenticated (az login), Bicep CLI installed (az bicep install), appropriate Azure subscription access. --- # Azure Bicep Deploy ## Prerequisites (Required) Before using this skill, ensure: 1. **Azure CLI installed** ```bash az --version ``` Install from: https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli 2. **Azure CLI authenticated** ```bash az login # Interactive login az login --tenant <tenant-id> # For specific tenant az account show # Verify logged in ``` 3. **Correct subscription selected** (if multiple) ```bash az account list # List subscriptions az account set --subscription <sub-id> # Switch subscription ``` 4. **Bicep CLI installed** ```bash az bicep install # Install Bicep az bicep version # Verify installation ``` Or use built-in: `az deployment group create` auto-compiles Bicep ### Deploy a Bicep File ```bash az deployment group create \ --resource-group <rg-name> \ --template-file <path-to-bicep> \ --parameters <params-file>.json ``` ### Deploy an ARM Template ```bash az deployment group create \ --resource-group <rg-name> \ --template-file <path-to-arm.json> \ --parameters <params-file>.json ``` ### Validate a Template (What-If) ```bash az deployment group what-if \ --resource-group <rg-name> \ --template-file <path-to-bicep> ``` ### Validate Syntax Only (Bicep) ```bash az bicep build --file <bicep-file> ``` ## Multi-Environment Deployments Use parameter files for each environment: ``` params/ ├── dev.bicepparam # or dev.json ├── staging.bicepparam # or staging.json └── prod.bicepparam # or prod.json ``` Deploy with environment: ```bash az deployment group create \ --resource-group <rg>-dev \ --template-file main.bicep \ --parameters @params/dev.json ``` ## Azure Container Apps See [references/container-apps.md](references/container-apps.md) for detailed Container App patterns including: - Basic container deployment - Ingress configuration - Scaling rules - revisions/versions ## Create New Resources When asked to create Azure resources via Bicep: 1. Check if existing templates in `references/` match your need 2. For Container Apps: use the sample in `assets/container-app/` 3. For other resources: generate using `az bicep build-params --file` or reference Azure QuickStart Templates ## Scripts Copy scripts from references or use directly: - [references/deploy.md](references/deploy.md) — Deployment script with environment selection - [references/validate.md](references/validate.md) — Validate and what-if - [references/bicep-build.md](references/bicep-build.md) — Build Bicep to ARM Quick deploy (copy-paste one-liner): ```bash az deployment group create --resource-group <rg> --template-file main.bicep --parameters @params/dev.json ```
