Execute deployment to Azure. Final step after preparation and validation. Runs azd up, azd deploy, or infrastructure provisioning commands. USE FOR: run azd up, run azd deploy, execute deployment, provision infrastructure, push to production, go live, ship it, deploy web app, deploy container app, deploy static site, deploy Azure Functions, bicep deploy, terraform apply. DO NOT USE FOR: creating or building apps (use azure-prepare), validating before deploy (use azure-validate).

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE
PREREQUISITE: The azure-validate skill MUST be invoked and completed with status Validated BEFORE executing this skill.
⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED
Before proceeding, verify BOTH prerequisites are met:
azure-prepare was invoked and completed → .azure/plan.md exists
azure-validate was invoked and passed → plan status = Validated
If EITHER is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY:
No plan? → Invoke azure-prepare skill first
Status not Validated? → Invoke azure-validate skill first
⛔ DO NOT MANUALLY UPDATE THE PLAN STATUS
You are FORBIDDEN from changing the plan status to Validated yourself. Only the azure-validate skill is authorized to set this status after running actual validation checks. If you update the status without running validation, deployments will fail.
DO NOT ASSUME the app is ready. DO NOT SKIP validation to save time. Skipping steps causes deployment failures. The complete workflow ensures success:
Verify Success — Confirm deployment completed and endpoints are accessible
—
⛔ VALIDATION PROOF CHECK
When checking the plan, verify the Validation Proof section (Section 7) contains actual validation results with commands run and timestamps. If this section is empty, validation was bypassed — invoke azure-validate skill first.
