SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Choosing among Azure's 200+ services and configuring them securely is error-prone; this Skill provides decision frameworks, Bicep/Terraform templates, and best practices for building Azure infrastructure correctly the first time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Service Selection Frameworks: Decision trees for compute (Container Apps, AKS, Functions, App Service), storage tiers, databases (SQL, Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL), and messaging (Service Bus, Event Grid, Event Hubs). - Infrastructure as Code: Production-ready Bicep and Terraform examples for networking, Managed Identity, Private Endpoints, Key Vault, and hub-spoke topologies. - AI Integration Patterns: Azure OpenAI setup with Managed Identity, RAG architecture with Azure AI Search, and function calling implementations in Python and TypeScript. - Use Case: When migrating a web application to Azure, use this Skill to select Container Apps over AKS, generate the Bicep templates with Private Endpoints and Managed Identity, and set up a GitHub Actions deployment workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design an Azure architecture for your application workload and generate the corresponding Bicep infrastructure templates.

Frequently Asked Questions about deploying-on-azure

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between Azure Container Apps and AKS?▼

Choose Container Apps for microservices and APIs without Kubernetes complexity; it is simpler and cheaper for about 80% of containerized workloads. Choose AKS when you need full Kubernetes control plane access, custom CRDs, operators, or service mesh like Istio.

How to deploy Azure infrastructure with Bicep?▼

Define resources in .bicep files using symbolic names, parameter files for environment-specific values, and Azure Verified Modules for tested patterns. Deploy with az deployment group create or automate via GitHub Actions using azure/login and azure/arm-deploy actions.

Should I use Private Endpoints or Service Endpoints in Azure?▼

Use Private Endpoints for production workloads because they provide a private IP in your VNet and protect against data exfiltration. Service Endpoints are free but only optimize routing to public endpoints, making them suitable mainly for dev/test environments.

Does Azure OpenAI support Managed Identity authentication?▼

Yes, Azure OpenAI supports Managed Identity through DefaultAzureCredential and a bearer token provider scoped to cognitiveservices.azure.com. This eliminates storing API keys in code and works with both the Python and TypeScript SDKs.

What Cosmos DB consistency level should I use?▼

Session consistency is the default and suits most applications like shopping carts and user sessions. Use Strong for financial transactions, Bounded Staleness for leaderboards, and Eventual for analytics where lowest latency and highest throughput matter most.

When should I not use Azure Functions?▼

Avoid Functions for long-running tasks exceeding the plan timeout (5 minutes on Consumption, 60 on Premium) or stateful workflows without Durable Functions. For sustained high-throughput processing, Container Apps or AKS are more cost-effective.
