azure-cloud-development — GitHub Copilot plugin: how to install
GitHub Copilot plugin providing slash commands and expert agents for Azure. Covers cloud architecture patterns and Infrastructure as Code with Bicep and Terraform.
copilot plugin install azure-cloud-development@awesome-copilotWhat azure-cloud-development does
The plugin bundles targeted agents and slash commands tailored for Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Its advisory roles include azure-principal-architect and azure-saas-architect, both applying the Azure Well-Architected Framework. For serverless workflows, azure-logic-apps-expert assists with integration design and the JSON-based Workflow Definition Language.
Infrastructure as Code workflows focus on Bicep and Terraform. Dedicated agents review and generate configurations against Azure Verified Modules (AVM). Terraform work is split cleanly: terraform-azure-planning scopes the plan, while terraform-azure-implement writes and inspects the code.
Resource management includes automated tracking. The /azure-cloud-development:az-cost-optimize command scans IaC files or a target resource group, then logs identified savings directly as GitHub issues. When workloads fail, /azure-cloud-development:azure-resource-health-diagnose parses logs and telemetry to produce a remediation plan.
What it helps with
- design multitenant SaaS architectures following Azure Well-Architected guidelines
- generate and inspect Bicep or Terraform files using Azure Verified Modules
- identify Azure cost savings and automatically turn them into GitHub issues
- troubleshoot failed Azure resources using logs and telemetry
Example prompts for the agent
- /azure-cloud-development:az-cost-optimize analyze the resources in rg-production and find unneeded spend
- /azure-cloud-development:azure-resource-health-diagnose diagnose the failure from service logs and outline remediation steps
- @azure-verified-modules-terraform review my Terraform modules against AVM standards
