azure-landing-zone-checklist

azure-landing-zone-checklist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills. It costs 146 tokens per session (3,340 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided checklist for planning a Microsoft Azure Landing Zone, which is the organised cloud foundation where an organisation runs its Azure workloads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document Azure subscriptions, networks, IP address ranges, naming, security, deployment choices, and other decisions needed before deploying an Azure Landing Zone with Bicep or Terraform.
Why use it?
It turns infrastructure decisions into a completed Excel workbook and highlights information that still needs a human decision, reducing configuration gaps and rework.

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

azure-landing-zone-checklist 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.

Azure Landing Zone Checklist Skill

This skill guides you through filling out the Microsoft Azure Landing Zone (ALZ) Accelerator checklist — the spreadsheet that captures all decisions needed before deploying an ALZ using Bicep or Terraform via the ALZ Accelerator tool.

The goal is to produce a filled Excel checklist where every decision is justified, best practices are applied by default, and items requiring human input are clearly flagged for the user's attention.

Why this matters

The ALZ Accelerator checklist is the single source of truth for a platform landing zone deployment. Getting it wrong means misconfigured networking, security gaps, or hours of rework. This skill ensures consistency by applying Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) recommendations while respecting the user's existing infrastructure (IP ranges, subscriptions, naming conventions).

Workflow

Phase 1: Read the checklist

Read the uploaded .xlsx checklist using openpyxl to understand its structure. ALZ checklists typically have three tabs:

  • Accelerator - Bootstrap: IaC type, VCS, subscriptions, naming, CI/CD settings
  • Accelerator - Bicep: Scenario selection, component toggles, IP addressing, policies
  • Accelerator - Terraform: Same as Bicep with additional options (AMBA, Sovereign LZ)

Parse the checklist to identify which fields already have values (column F = "Chosen Value") and which are empty. This tells you what the user has already decided vs. what needs input.

Phase 2: Interview the user

Gather decisions through structured questions. Ask in batches of 3-4 questions to avoid overwhelming the user. Prioritize in this order:

Batch 1 — Foundational decisions:

  • IaC type (Bicep or Terraform)
  • Version control system (Azure DevOps, GitHub, or local)
  • Network topology scenario (Hub & Spoke vs vWAN, single vs multi-region, Azure Firewall vs NVA)
  • Azure region

Batch 2 — Component decisions:

  • Which components to deploy (DDoS, Private DNS, Bastion, VPN Gateway, ExpressRoute, Zero Trust)
  • Security posture (AMA, Defender plans)

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.
