name	sdaf-ado-project-bootstrap
description	Set up SDAF on Azure DevOps end-to-end: create the Azure DevOps project, configuration repository, pipelines, cleanup task, agent pool, control-plane managed identity, service connections, variable groups, optional Web App, and onboard each SDAF workload zone. Drives the documented New-SDAFUserAssignedIdentity + New-SDAFADOProject + New-SDAFADOWorkloadZone path from docs/02-00-bootstrap.md, docs/02-10-configure-devops-project.md, and docs/02-20-configure-workload-zone-artifacts.md. Use when an operator says: "set up SDAF on Azure DevOps", "bootstrap the ADO project", "onboard a workload zone", "create a new SDAF DevOps project", "add SDAF-<env> variable group and service connection". NOT for what an individual pipeline does or when to run it (see sdaf-ado-pipeline-catalogue), and not for the GitHub Actions surface.

SDAF — Azure DevOps project bootstrap and workload-zone onboarding

Drives the two documented PowerShell utilities that create the SDAF Azure DevOps footprint: New-SDAFADOProject (project + control-plane artifacts) and New-SDAFADOWorkloadZone (variable group + service connection for each extra workload environment). Same script family, same doc pages, one operator sitting. Documented in docs/02-00-bootstrap.md, docs/02-10-configure-devops-project.md, and docs/02-20-configure-workload-zone-artifacts.md.

When to invoke

Trigger utterances: "set up SDAF on Azure DevOps", "bootstrap the Azure DevOps project", "create the SDAF-MGMT-SECE project", "add / onboard the TEST-SECE-SAP01 workload zone", "create the SDAF- variable group and workload service connection".

Do not invoke for: "what does pipeline 01 do?" or "which variable group does 05 read?" (→ sdaf-ado-pipeline-catalogue); anything on the GitHub Actions surface; or actually deploying the control plane, workload zone, or SAP system (bootstrap creates artefacts; deployment is a separate hub-plugin skill).

Recipe

Both journeys run from Windows PowerShell with the latest Azure CLI, download SDAFUtilities.psm1 from the reviewed sap-automation ref, sign in, run the utility, capture returned values.

A. First-time project bootstrap

1. Confirm inputs listed at the top of docs/02-10-configure-devops-project.md (see also docs/01-00-prerequisites.md): Azure DevOps organization URL, tenant ID, control-plane subscription ID, control-plane and region codes, agent-pool name, SAP support credentials, reviewed sap-automation branch, SDAF-MSIs resource group.
2. Copy the script in docs/02-10-configure-devops-project.md § Configure the script into a local .ps1. Replace every placeholder. Drop -EnableWebApp when the configuration Web App is not in scope.
3. az upgrade, sign in to the intended Azure tenant, then run the .ps1; complete each browser prompt the utilities open.
4. Wait for New-SDAFADOProject to finish. Record the project URL, the managed-identity ID from New-SDAFUserAssignedIdentity, and the agent-pool name.

B. Onboarding an additional workload zone

Prerequisite: the project and control-plane MSI from A already exist.

1. Copy the script in docs/02-20-configure-workload-zone-artifacts.md § Configure the script. Reuse $ControlPlaneCode, $ControlPlaneRegionCode, $ManagedIdentityName, $MSIResourceGroupName from A; set $WorkloadCode, $WorkloadRegionCode, and $WorkloadSubscriptionId.
2. Sign in to the tenant that holds the control-plane MSI. Run the .ps1 and confirm Get-SDAFUserAssignedIdentity returns the control-plane identity before New-SDAFADOWorkloadZone runs.

C. Validate concretely after either journey

Walk the "Validate" section of the matching configure page (A: docs/02-10-configure-devops-project.md; B: docs/02-20-configure-workload-zone-artifacts.md):

1. Project exists with the expected name; configuration repository contains pipelines and WORKSPACES (docs/02-00-bootstrap.md § Create the project and configuration repository).
2. Deployment pipelines were created — canonical inventory and variable-group mapping is sdaf-ado-pipeline-catalogue § Variable-group dependencies; do not restate it here.
3. Sensitive values (S-Password, PAT, Azure credentials) are marked secret.
4. Every service connection targets the correct subscription and tenant.
5. Agent pool exists and required pipelines are authorized on it.
6. Build Service has the repository permissions the pipelines need (docs/02-00-bootstrap.md § Configure service connections and permissions).
7. No SAP password, PAT, or Azure credential appears in source control or pipeline logs.

Hard rules

1. Documented utilities only. Drive New-SDAFUserAssignedIdentity, New-SDAFADOProject, Get-SDAFUserAssignedIdentity, and New-SDAFADOWorkloadZone as documented. setup_ado.sh and configure_deployer.sh are named in docs/02-00-bootstrap.md § Configure the agent as Learn-article steps — drive them only via that path; their internals are not documented here. Other ADO-setup scripts (create_devops_artifacts.sh, New-SDAFDevopsProject.ps1, New-SDAFDevopsWorkloadZone.ps1, setup_devops.ps1, Upgrade-*) are not documented here at all — do not reconstruct their behaviour.
2. Never invent parameters, roles, or variable-group values. The per-variable catalogue for SDAF-<environment> is not exhaustively documented; state the gap, do not guess.
3. Credential hygiene. Read SAP support credentials with Read-Host -AsSecureString, do not echo, and remove Env:SUserName / Env:SPassword in a finally block exactly as docs/02-10-configure-devops-project.md § Configure the script shows.
4. Do not rerun a partial script blind. Inventory what was created, correct the first failed dependency, then rerun with the same project and control-plane names (docs/02-00-bootstrap.md § If it fails).
5. Reuse the workload-zone code. Same $WorkloadZoneCode updates in place; a new code creates duplicate artefacts.
6. WORKSPACES/LANDSCAPE/<zone>/<zone>.tfvars is not created here — it is a prerequisite of the 02 deployment pipeline.

What this skill does NOT do

Choose between automated and manual paths (docs/02-00-bootstrap.md § Manual configuration path is a fallback the operator invokes directly); deploy the control plane, workload zone, or any SAP system; explain individual pipeline parameters or run order (see sdaf-ado-pipeline-catalogue); cover the GitHub Actions bootstrap (sap-automation-gh-bootstrap); register the deployer VM as the self-hosted agent (that happens during control-plane deployment — docs/02-00-bootstrap.md § Configure the agent points 3–4); or author / debug SDAFUtilities.psm1 itself.
