python-appservice-deploy
Deploy Python (Flask/Django/FastAPI) code to Azure App Service Linux. WHEN: \"Flask App Service\", \"Django App Service\", \"FastAPI App Service\", \"deploy Python to App Service\". DO NOT USE FOR: Container Apps, Functions, non-Python, Terraform/Bicep/IaC, full infra — use azure-prepare.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and workflows for deploying Python applications to Azure App Service that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires azure-cli installed locally. Requires azure account access. About 1k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 405 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
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: mcpazuremcpsubscriptionlist, mcpazuremcpgrouplist, mcpazuremcpappservice, mcpazuremcpazd (when azure.yaml is present). Workflow 1. Resolve context — smart defaults, minimal prompts. Only the app name is interactive; RG (<app>-rg), Plan (<app>-plan), region (current az default or eastus2), subscription are derived. create-app.md §1. 2. Detect framework (advisory, never blocks). detect.md. 3. Choose path — azure.yaml host: appservice → deploy-azd.md; else deploy-azcli.md. 4. Ensure RG → Plan (P0v3 --is-linux) → Web App (--runtime "PYTHON:3.14") exist. On transient ARM errors, follow transient-retry.md. create-app.md. 5. 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. 6. Set SCMDOBUILDDURINGDEPLOYMENT=true. 7. Deploy — azd deploy or az webapp deploy --type zip --track-status false. 8. 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 --runtime always 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.
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
