Where can I see the results of the validation checks?

All validation commands and their results are recorded in Section 7 (Validation Proof) of your project's .azure/plan.md file.

What specific files does this skill validate?

It validates infrastructure-as-code files including Bicep templates, Terraform files, and the azure.yaml configuration file.

Does this skill perform actual resource deployment?

No, this skill only performs 'dry-run' validations like 'azd provision --preview'. Actual deployment is handled by the azure-deploy skill.

What happens if azure-prepare hasn't been run yet?

The skill will stop immediately and prompt you to run azure-prepare first to generate the necessary .azure/plan.md file.

Can I skip validation and go straight to deployment?

No, this skill serves as a mandatory gatekeeper to ensure all configurations are valid before the azure-deploy skill can be executed.

Cloud Infrastructure

Validates Azure infrastructure configurations and pre-deployment prerequisites to ensure successful cloud deployments.

Azure Validate serves as a critical preflight checkpoint in the Azure deployment lifecycle, bridging the gap between planning and execution. It performs deep inspections of configurations like azure.yaml, Bicep files, and Terraform scripts while verifying permissions and resource availability. By enforcing a strict validation-before-deployment rule and documenting proof of successful checks in the deployment plan, it minimizes deployment failures and ensures infrastructure-as-code consistency.

Key Features

01Seamless integration with azure-prepare and azure-deploy workflows

02Detailed logging of validation proof within the project's deployment plan

03Deep pre-deployment configuration checks for Bicep, Terraform, and azure.yaml

04Automated verification of cloud permissions and service prerequisites

06Real-time troubleshooting and error resolution guidance for deployment blocks

Use Cases

01Troubleshooting complex configuration errors before they impact production environments

02Verifying Bicep templates and infrastructure-as-code before provisioning resources

03Checking Azure environment readiness and permission sets to prevent deployment failure
