Azure Stack Deploy

Deploy a Git-Ape deployment artifact as a subscription-scoped Azure Deployment Stack (az stack sub create --action-on-unmanage deleteAll). The stack is the lifecycle owner of every resource the template creates — across resource groups and subscription scope — which makes destroy idempotent in a single call (see azure-stack-destroy).

This skill produces the same state.json schema (schemaVersion: "1.0") as the CI workflow at .github/workflows/git-ape-deploy.yml, so local deployments and pipeline deployments are interchangeable.

When to Use

• Local deployment from VS Code or terminal (the git-ape agent invokes this in Stage 3)
• Re-deploying an existing deployment ID after template edits — stacks are stateful, so this is an in-place update
• Any time you would otherwise run az deployment sub create against a Git-Ape template.json

Do NOT use for

• Tearing down / destroying an existing deployment — use azure-stack-destroy instead
• What-if preview / preflight validation without deploying — use azure-deployment-preflight instead
• Off-topic (non-Azure, non-deployment) requests
• Generating or editing ARM templates — use azure-prepare or another IaC authoring skill
