Azure Enterprise Infra Planner Agent Skill
Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment', 'Azure Backup for VM workloads'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.

When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill when user wants to:
- Plan enterprise Azure infrastructure from a workload or architecture description
- Architect a landing zone, hub-spoke network, or multi-region topology
- Design networking infrastructure: VNets, subnets, firewalls, private endpoints, VPN gateways
- Plan identity, RBAC, and compliance-driven infrastructure
- Generate Bicep or Terraform for subscription-scope or multi-resource-group deployments
- Plan disaster recovery, failover, or cross-region high-availability topologies

Workflow (Start Here)
Follow the step-by-step instructions in workflow.md to execute the 7 phases of infrastructure planning and provisioning.
MCP Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| insights_get | Retrieve insights about the user's existing Azure environment to guide planning decisions |
| get_azure_bestpractices_get | Azure best practices for code generation, operations, and deployment |
| wellarchitectedframework_serviceguide_get | WAF service guide for a specific Azure service |
| microsoft_docs_search | Search Microsoft Learn for relevant documentation chunks |
| microsoft_docs_fetch | Fetch full content of a Microsoft Learn page by URL |
| bicepschema_get | Bicep schema definition for any Azure resource type (latest API version) |
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 |

This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.
Latch platform for bioinformatics workflows. Build pipelines with Latch SDK, @workflow/@task decorators, deploy serverless workflows, LatchFile/LatchDir, Nextflow/Snakemake integration.
Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.
