Use when designing or costing an Azure architecture (AKS, App Service, Functions, Cosmos DB, Bicep or ARM, Azure DevOps, migration to Azure). Designs it with architecture_designer.py, generates Bicep with bicep_generator.py and finds savings with cost_optimizer.py.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable scripts for generating Bicep templates and architecture recommendations that are not commonly found in public documentation.

What this skill does
Azure Cloud Architect Design scalable, cost-effective Azure architectures for startups and enterprises with Bicep infrastructure-as-code templates. --- Workflow Step 1: Gather Requirements Collect application specifications: Step 2: Design Architecture Run the architecture designer to get pattern recommendations: Example output: Select from recommended patterns: App Service Web: Front Door + App Service + Azure SQL + Redis Cache Microservices on AKS: AKS + Service Bus + Cosmos DB + API Management Serverless Event-Driven: Functions + Event Grid + Service Bus + Cosmos DB Data Pipeline: Data Factory + Synapse Analytics + Data Lake Storage + Event Hubs See references/architecturepatterns.md for detailed pattern specifications. Validation checkpoint: Confirm the recommended pattern matches the team's operational maturity and compliance requirements before proceeding to Step 3. Step 3: Generate IaC Templates Create infrastructure-as-code for the selected pattern: Example Bicep output (core web app resources): Full templates including Front Door, Key Vault, Managed Identity, and monitoring are generated by bicepgenerator.py and also available in references/architecturepatterns.md. Bicep is the recommended IaC language for Azure. Prefer Bicep over ARM JSON templates: Bicep compiles to ARM JSON, has cleaner syntax, supports modules, and is first-party supported by Microsoft. …
