Skills azure-enterprise-infra-planner

Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment', 'Azure Backup for VM workloads'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.

Azure Enterprise Infra Planner

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when user wants to:

Plan enterprise Azure infrastructure from a workload or architecture description
Architect a landing zone, hub-spoke network, or multi-region topology
Design networking infrastructure: VNets, subnets, firewalls, private endpoints, VPN gateways
Plan identity, RBAC, and compliance-driven infrastructure
Generate Bicep or Terraform for subscription-scope or multi-resource-group deployments
Plan disaster recovery, failover, or cross-region high-availability topologies

Quick Reference

Property	Details
MCP tools	`get_azure_bestpractices_get` , `wellarchitectedframework_serviceguide_get` , `microsoft_docs_fetch` , `microsoft_docs_search` , `bicepschema_get`
CLI commands	`az deployment group create` , `az bicep build` , `az resource list` , `terraform init` , `terraform plan` , `terraform validate` , `terraform apply`
Output schema	plan-schema.md
Key references	research.md, resources/, waf-checklist.md, constraints/

Workflow

Read workflow.md for detailed step-by-step instructions, including MCP tool usage, CLI commands, and decision points. Follow the phases in order, ensuring all key gates are passed before proceeding to the next phase.

Phase	Action	Key Gate
1	Research — WAF Tools	All MCP tool calls complete
2	Research — Refine & Lookup	Resource list approved by user
3	Plan Generation	Plan JSON written to disk
4	Verification	All checks pass, user approves
5	IaC Generation	`meta.status` = `approved`
6	Deployment	User confirms destructive actions

MCP Tools

Tool	Purpose
`get_azure_bestpractices_get`	Azure best practices for code generation, operations, and deployment
`wellarchitectedframework_serviceguide_get`	WAF service guide for a specific Azure service
`microsoft_docs_search`	Search Microsoft Learn for relevant documentation chunks
`microsoft_docs_fetch`	Fetch full content of a Microsoft Learn page by URL
`bicepschema_get`	Bicep schema definition for any Azure resource type (latest API version)

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Fix
MCP tool error or not available	Tool call timeout, connection error, or tool doesn't exist	Retry once; fall back to reference files and notify user if unresolved
Plan approval missing	`meta.status` is not `approved`	Stop and prompt user for approval before IaC generation or deployment
IaC validation failure	`az bicep build` or `terraform validate` returns errors	Fix the generated code and re-validate; notify user if unresolved
Pairing constraint violation	Incompatible SKU or resource combination	Fix in plan before proceeding to IaC generation
Infra plan or IaC files not found	Files written to wrong location or not created	Verify files exist at `<project-root>/.azure/` and `<project-root>/infra/` ; if missing, re-create the files by following workflow.md exactly
