What Azure Enterprise Infra Planner does
The Azure Enterprise Infra Planner skill is designed for cloud architects and platform engineers who need to efficiently plan and provision enterprise-level Azure infrastructure. This skill allows users to create detailed infrastructure plans based on workload descriptions, enabling them to architect landing zones, hub-spoke networks, and multi-region topologies. It focuses on critical aspects such as networking infrastructure, identity management, role-based access control (RBAC), and compliance, ensuring that all elements are aligned with best practices.
Users can generate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) directly in Bicep or Terraform formats, facilitating subscription-scope or multi-resource-group deployments. The skill encompasses a comprehensive workflow that guides users through seven key phases: extracting insights, researching best practices, generating plans, verifying details, and ultimately deploying the infrastructure. This structured approach ensures that all necessary considerations are accounted for before moving to implementation.
The skill also integrates with various MCP tools to provide insights about existing Azure environments, best practices, and relevant documentation from Microsoft Learn. This functionality helps users make informed decisions during the planning process. Additionally, the skill addresses common issues such as validation failures and pairing constraint violations, offering clear guidance on how to resolve them.
Overall, the Azure Enterprise Infra Planner is an essential tool for professionals looking to streamline their Azure infrastructure planning process, ensuring that deployments are efficient, compliant, and aligned with organizational goals.
When to use it
Use this skill when you need to architect Azure infrastructure based on specific workload requirements, ensuring compliance and best practices are followed.
When not to use it
This skill may not be suitable for simple or ad-hoc Azure deployments where detailed planning and infrastructure as code are not required.
What you can build with it
Architecting a Hub-Spoke Network
Use this skill to design a hub-spoke network topology, ensuring efficient resource management and connectivity.
Planning Disaster Recovery Solutions
Leverage the skill to create a multi-region disaster recovery plan, enhancing your application's resilience.
Generating Infrastructure as Code
Activate the skill to automatically generate Bicep or Terraform scripts for your Azure deployments, streamlining the provisioning process.

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 |
