caf-platform-automation-devops

caf-platform-automation-devops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from janegilring/awesome-azure-landing-zones. It costs 208 tokens per session (1,088 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for managing an Azure platform as code: describing its setup in files, reviewing changes, and deploying them through automated build and release pipelines. It also covers secure automation identities and keeping environments updated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan source control and branching, CI/CD pipelines, managed identities or OIDC, environment promotion, drift control, and updates to landing-zone modules and policies.
Why use it?
It makes platform changes repeatable and reviewable while reducing reliance on long-lived secret keys and manual deployments.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

caf-platform-automation-devops scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Platform automation and DevOps

Overview

This design area makes the platform repeatable and maintainable: the landing zone is defined as infrastructure as code, deployed through CI/CD pipelines with secure, secretless automation identities, and kept up to date as Azure and the ALZ reference implementations evolve. It is IaC-agnostic at the design level — the practice (Git workflow, environments, identities, drift control) matters more than the specific tool; tool-specific steps live in the alz-accelerator skill.

When to use this skill

  • Defining the IaC strategy and repository/branching model for the platform.
  • Designing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps) to deploy and update ALZ.
  • Setting up automation identities with managed identity / workload identity federation (OIDC) instead of long-lived secrets.
  • Planning environments and promotion (e.g. canary/management-group rings) and drift control.
  • Establishing a process to keep the landing zone current with upstream module/policy updates.

Key concepts

  • Platform as code — the management groups, policies, networking, and baselines are defined in source control, reviewed, and deployed via pipelines — not click-ops.
  • Bootstrap — the one-time setup of the deployment toolchain (repos, pipelines, service connections, deployment identity) before the platform itself is deployed.
  • Workload identity federation (OIDC) — pipelines authenticate to Azure with short-lived, federated tokens; no stored secrets to rotate or leak.
  • Environments / promotion — change flows through stages (plan → review → apply), often using management-group rings to limit blast radius.
  • Drift and updates — detect configuration drift and consume upstream improvements (modules, AVM, default policies) on a maintained cadence (keep ALZ up to date).

Decision guidance

IaC and repository design

  • Treat the platform as a versioned product: one source of truth, reviewed pull requests, tagged releases. Separate platform from workload pipelines.
  • Pick the IaC tool that matches team skills and the chosen accelerator (Bicep or Terraform) — keep the practice consistent regardless (see alz-accelerator for specifics).
