Azure Resource Availability
Validate that Azure resources, SKUs, service versions, and API versions are available in the target subscription and region before generating templates or deploying.
When to Use
- Requirements Gathering — After collecting region + resource type, validate availability before finalizing
- Template Generation — When selecting API versions and resource properties, verify they exist
- Preflight — As a blocking gate before what-if analysis
- Deployment Retry — After a deployment failure, diagnose availability issues
Procedure
Step 1: Parse Resources to Validate
Extract the resource list from one of these sources (in priority order):
- ARM template — Parse
template.jsonfor resource types, API versions, SKUs, and service versions - Requirements document — Parse
requirements.jsonfor requested resources

prereq-check
Check that all required CLI tools are installed, meet minimum versions, and have active auth sessions. Shows platform-specific install commands for anything missing.
1azure-naming-research
Research Azure naming constraints and CAF abbreviations for a given resource type. Use when you need to look up the official CAF slug, naming rules (length, scope, valid characters), and derive validation/cleaning regex patterns for an Azure resource. Triggers on: CAF abbreviation lookup, Azure naming rules research, resource naming constraints.
1git-ape-onboarding
Onboard a repository, Azure subscription(s), and user identity for Git-Ape CI/CD using a skill-driven CLI playbook. Use for first-time setup of OIDC, federated credentials, RBAC, GitHub environments, and required secrets.
1azure-cost-estimator
Estimate monthly costs for Azure resources by querying the Azure Retail Prices API. Parses ARM templates to identify resources, SKUs, and regions, then looks up real retail pricing. Produces a per-resource cost breakdown with monthly totals. Use during template generation or when user asks about costs.
1azure-role-selector
Recommend least-privilege Azure RBAC roles for deployed resources. Finds minimal built-in roles matching desired permissions or creates custom role definitions. Use during security analysis or when configuring access for service principals and managed identities.
1azure-security-analyzer
Analyze Azure resource configurations against security best practices using Azure MCP bestpractices service. Produces per-resource security assessment with severity ratings and recommendations. Use during template generation before deployment confirmation.
