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 insights get , 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 , checkov Output schema [schema.md](references/schema.md) Key references [workflow.md](references/workflow.md), [waf checklist.md](references/waf checklist.md), [resources/](references/resources/README.md), [constraints/](references/constraints/README.md) Workflow (Start Here) Follow the step by step instructions in [workflow.md](references/workflow.md) to execute the 7 phases of infrastructure planning and provisioning. Architecture The skill runs a 7 phase, gated pipeline . Input is triaged into one of two flows: Greenfield — only new requirements; run the phases straight through. Referenced (brownfield) — the user supplies something that already exists (a live resource / resource group / subscription, IaC or an infra plan, or a requirements doc). The same phases run, plus [referenced workload.md](references/referenced workload.md): existing resources are inventoried and referenced (never recreated), the new workload is wired into them, and Phase 7 deploys additively (incremental only — never modifying or destroying the referenced resources). Every phase advances only after its gate passes. Phase 5 requires explicit user approval; Phase 6 is a hardened, self verifying gate — the generated IaC must be secure by default, pass local validation ( az bicep build / terraform validate ) with zero errors, pass a checkov security scan with no unresolved high/critical findings, and the skill must show the command output and emit a completion self check before advancing; Phase 7 requires an explicit, risk acknowledged deploy confirmation. Artifacts (written under <project root / ): .azure/insights.json (Phase 1), .azure/infrastructure plan.json (Phase 4, status draft → approved → deployed ), and infra/main.bicep + infra/modules/ or infra/main.tf + infra/modules/ (Phase 6).
