azure-deploy

azure-deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from manu14357/zskills. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for putting applications and infrastructure on Microsoft Azure, a cloud computing platform. It covers repeatable setup, checks that services are healthy, and ways to undo a failed release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy web apps, functions, containers, Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, or hybrid systems to Azure. It also helps with infrastructure code, release strategies, rollback, and deployment troubleshooting.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes and inconsistent environments during releases. It also helps teams verify deployments and recover when something goes wrong.

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-deploy scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Azure Deploy

Deploy workloads to Azure with a clear, low-risk process aligned with the Well-Architected Framework. Emphasis on idempotency, repeatable IaC, comprehensive validation, and reversible rollback paths.

Use This Skill When

  • The user asks to deploy an app or service to Azure
  • The user needs release automation, blue-green, or canary deployments
  • The user wants Infrastructure-as-Code guidance (Bicep, Terraform)
  • The user needs rollback and disaster recovery procedures
  • Deployment fails and needs troubleshooting with validation steps

Context: Deployment Maturity Model

Stage 1: Manual → Portal-only, error-prone, hard to audit
Stage 2: Semi-Automated → Scripts with some IaC, inconsistent across environments
Stage 3: Fully Automated → Declarative IaC, CI/CD, infrastructure versioned ← Target
Stage 4: GitOps → All changes through pull requests, fully auditable, drift detection

Required Inputs

  • Target environment: subscription ID, resource group, region, tenant
  • Environment stage: dev, test, stage, prod (with distinct names)
  • Workload type: web app, function, container app, AKS, VM, hybrid
  • Deployment method: Azure CLI, Bicep, Terraform, ARM template, Azure Developer CLI
  • Artifact readiness: built container image, versioned application package
  • Security context: managed identity vs. connection string, private endpoints, secret rotation
  • Validation criteria: health checks, endpoint tests, smoke tests, performance baselines
  • Rollback tolerance: how many minutes can service be unavailable?

Decision Tree

Is this infrastructure or application code?
├─ Infrastructure → Use Bicep or Terraform (IaC)
└─ Application → Use Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions pipeline

Is this a net-new deployment or an update?
├─ Net-new → Deploy with full validation suite
└─ Update → Blue-green or canary strategy to minimize blast radius

Do you need instant rollback capability?
├─ Yes → Blue-green deployment (dual environments, instant traffic switch)
└─ Acceptable lag → Canary (gradual rollout with monitoring)

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.

azure-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository manu14357/zskills (16 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,019 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
