Python on Azure App Service — Code Deploy
Deploys Python (Flask, Django, FastAPI, generic) code to Azure App Service Linux (P0v3, Python 3.14). Creates RG + Plan + Web App if missing. Hand off to azure-prepare for VNet, Key Vault, databases, or IaC.
MCP tools used: mcp_azure_mcp_subscription_list, mcp_azure_mcp_group_list, mcp_azure_mcp_appservice, mcp_azure_mcp_azd (when azure.yaml is present).
Workflow
- Resolve context — smart defaults, minimal prompts. Only the app name is interactive; RG (
<app>-rg), Plan (<app>-plan), region (currentazdefault oreastus2), subscription are derived. create-app.md §1. - Detect framework (advisory, never blocks). detect.md.
- Choose path —
azure.yamlhost: appservice → deploy-azd.md; else deploy-azcli.md. - Ensure RG → Plan (
P0v3 --is-linux) → Web App (--runtime "PYTHON:3.14") exist. On transient ARM errors, follow transient-retry.md. create-app.md. - Set startup — Flask/Django: none (Oryx auto-detects). FastAPI: always
python -m uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0. Other: warn. startup-commands.md. - Set
SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=true. - Deploy —
azd deployoraz webapp deploy --type zip --track-status false. - STOP. Print the post-deploy message (post-deploy-message.md) and end the turn.
Hard rules
- ⛔ NO POST-DEPLOY VERIFICATION — after deploy returns, do not run
az webapp log tail,curl,Invoke-WebRequest, or any health probe. App Service needs 2–3 min to warm; a quiet log or early 5xx is not failure. - ⛔ SHELL SAFETY — for
--runtimealways use"PYTHON:3.14"(colon). Never"PYTHON|3.14"(pipe is a shell operator). - ⛔ NEVER
az webapp up— deprecated. Use Step 7 commands. - ✅ URL FORMAT — present endpoints as
https://...URLs.
Error Handling
See errors.md for the full symptom → cause → fix matrix. Quick triage: missing plan/app → re-run Step 4; container ping timeout on 8000 → fix startup (Step 5); ModuleNotFoundError after deploy → ensure Step 6 ran, redeploy.

End-to-end orchestrator: from a business idea, app idea, or existing app to running Azure deployment with cost estimates and pre-deploy approval. Analyzes your app, auto-detects the right Azure services, scaffolds infrastructure code, and deploys — tailored to your app, not a template. Handles moving existing apps to Azure without rewriting or with minimal changes. WHEN: bring your app to Azure, plan my app, cost to run, is my code ready to deploy, deploy my app to the cloud, deploy all my services, what Azure services do I need, plan my Azure deployment, deploy my new app to Azure, one-click deploy, I have an app and want it on Azure, migrate my app to Azure, help me get started, build an app, no code yet, starter project. DO NOT USE FOR: use azd for deployment(use azure-deploy), optimizing existing costs (use azure-cost), code readiness checks only (use azure-app-onboard-prereq).

Assess whether source code is ready to deploy to Azure — the check BEFORE infrastructure work. Evaluates build health, app completeness, dependencies and local services, stack compatibility, and deployment feasibility. Answers questions about what your app needs before it can be deployed — frameworks, dependencies, and configuration. Checks whether dependencies are compatible and identifies deployment blockers and unsupported frameworks. WHEN: "evaluate my repo", "is my app ready to deploy", "what does my app need to deploy", "what do I need before deploying", "does my app need", "can I ship this to Azure", "scan my repo for issues", "is this app deployable", "check if my app is ready for Azure", "do I need a Dockerfile", "what's blocking my deployment", "are there any blockers", "are my dependencies compatible", "does Azure support my framework", "what needs to change before deploying", "check my app configuration".
