Pre-deployment validation for Azure readiness. Run deep checks on configuration, infrastructure (Bicep or Terraform), permissions, and prerequisites before deploying. WHEN: validate my app, check deployment readiness, run preflight checks, verify configuration, check if ready to deploy, validate azure.yaml, validate Bicep, test before deploying, troubleshoot deployment errors, validate Azure Functions, validate function app, validate serverless deployment.

Assess and upgrade Azure workloads between plans, tiers, or SKUs within Azure. Generates assessment reports and automates upgrade steps. WHEN: upgrade Consumption to Flex Consumption, upgrade Azure Functions plan, migrate hosting plan, upgrade Functions SKU, move to Flex Consumption, upgrade Azure service tier, change hosting plan, upgrade function app plan, migrate App Service to Container Apps.

Azure Storage Services including Blob Storage, File Shares, Queue Storage, Table Storage, and Data Lake. Provides object storage, SMB file shares, async messaging, NoSQL key-value, and big data analytics capabilities. Includes access tiers (hot, cool, archive) and lifecycle management. USE FOR: blob storage, file shares, queue storage, table storage, data lake, upload files, download blobs, storage accounts, access tiers, lifecycle management. DO NOT USE FOR: SQL databases, Cosmos DB (use azure-prepare), messaging with Event Hubs or Service Bus (use azure-messaging).

Analyze Azure resource groups and generate detailed Mermaid architecture diagrams showing the relationships between individual resources. WHEN: create architecture diagram, visualize Azure resources, show resource relationships, generate Mermaid diagram, analyze resource group, diagram my resources, architecture visualization, resource topology, map Azure infrastructure.

List, find, and show Azure resources across subscriptions or resource groups. Handles prompts like "list websites", "list virtual machines", "list my VMs", "show storage accounts", "find container apps", and "what resources do I have". USE FOR: resource inventory, find resources by tag, tag analysis, orphaned resource discovery (not for cost analysis), unattached disks, count resources by type, cross-subscription lookup, and Azure Resource Graph queries. DO NOT USE FOR: deploying/changing resources, cost optimization, or non-Azure clouds.

Helps users find the right Azure RBAC role for an identity with least privilege access, then generate CLI commands and Bicep code to assign it. Also provides guidance on permissions required to grant roles. WHEN: bicep for role assignment, what role should I assign, least privilege role, RBAC role for, role to read blobs, role for managed identity, custom role definition, assign role to identity, what role do I need to grant access, permissions to assign roles.

Check/manage Azure quotas and usage across providers. For deployment planning, capacity validation, region selection. WHEN: "check quotas", "service limits", "current usage", "request quota increase", "quota exceeded", "validate capacity", "regional availability", "provisioning limits", "vCPU limit", "how many vCPUs available in my subscription".

Prepare Azure apps for deployment (infra Bicep/Terraform, azure.yaml, Dockerfiles). Use for create/modernize or create+deploy; not cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: "create app", "build web app", "create API", "create serverless HTTP API", "create frontend", "create back end", "build a service", "modernize application", "update application", "add authentication", "add caching", "host on Azure", "create and deploy", "deploy to Azure", "deploy to Azure using Terraform", "deploy to Azure App Service", "deploy to Azure App Service using Terraform", "deploy to Azure Container Apps", "deploy to Azure Container Apps using Terraform", "generate Terraform", "generate Bicep", "function app", "timer trigger", "service bus trigger", "event-driven function", "containerized Node.js app", "social media app", "static portfolio website", "todo list with frontend and API", "prepare my Azure application to use Key Vault", "managed identity".

Troubleshoot and resolve issues with Azure Messaging SDKs for Event Hubs and Service Bus. Covers connection failures, authentication errors, message processing issues, and SDK configuration problems. WHEN: event hub SDK error, service bus SDK issue, messaging connection failure, AMQP error, event processor host issue, message lock lost, send timeout, receiver disconnected, SDK troubleshooting, azure messaging SDK, event hub consumer, service bus queue issue, topic subscription error, enable logging event hub, service bus logging, eventhub python, servicebus java, eventhub javascript, servicebus dotnet, event hub checkpoint, event hub not receiving messages, service bus dead letter.

Query and analyze data in Azure Data Explorer (Kusto/ADX) using KQL for log analytics, telemetry, and time series analysis. WHEN: KQL queries, Kusto database queries, Azure Data Explorer, ADX clusters, log analytics, time series data, IoT telemetry, anomaly detection.

Plan, create, and configure production-ready Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. Covers Day-0 checklist, SKU selection (Automatic vs Standard), networking options (private API server, Azure CNI Overlay, egress configuration), security, and operations (autoscaling, upgrade strategy, cost analysis). WHEN: create AKS environment, provision AKS environment, enable AKS observability, design AKS networking, choose AKS SKU, secure AKS.

Build and deploy GitHub Copilot SDK apps to Azure. WHEN: build copilot app, create copilot app, copilot SDK, @github/copilot-sdk, scaffold copilot project, copilot-powered app, deploy copilot app, host on azure, azure model, BYOM, bring your own model, use my own model, azure openai model, DefaultAzureCredential, self-hosted model, copilot SDK service, chat app with copilot, copilot-sdk-service template, azd init copilot, CopilotClient, createSession, sendAndWait, GitHub Models API.
