Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00208 | $0.01088 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00083 | $0.00435 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00218 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00109 |
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 2mo 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-acceleratorfor specifics).
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

caf-platform-automation-devops is a skill published in the GitHub repository janegilring/awesome-azure-landing-zones (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 208 tokens to every session and 1,088 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
