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 |
