azure-kubernetes-app-deployA skill your agent uses when deploying an existing web application or API to an already-running Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
Azure Kubernetes App Deploy is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when deploying an existing web application or API to an already-running Azure Kubernetes Service cluster. Detects the framework, generates a Dockerfile and Kubernetes manifests, validates against AKS Deployment Safeguards, and deploys with verification. WHEN: deploy app to AKS, deploy to existing AKS cluster, containerize app for Kubernetes, generate K8s manifests for Azure, set up CI/CD for AKS, my AKS deployment is failing safeguard checks, I have a Django/Express/Spring Boot app to run on AKS. DO NOT USE…
Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 50 other files, including reference files (for example `knowledge-packs/frameworks/aspnet-core.md`, `knowledge-packs/frameworks/django.md` and `knowledge-packs/frameworks/express.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration and Backend development. It works with Kubernetes, Microsoft Azure, Azure Kubernetes Service and Django. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot for Azure. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fcf2f3b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
azFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use az, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Azure Kubernetes App Deploy loads about 500 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 193 tokens; SKILL.md has 89 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

A skill your agent uses when deploying an existing web application or API to an already-running Azure Kubernetes Service cluster. Azure Kubernetes App Deploy is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when deploying an existing web application or API to an already-running Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
Azure Kubernetes App Deploy fits situations like: deploying an existing web application; API to an already-running Azure Kubernetes Service cluster; provisioning an AKS cluster (use azure-kubernetes); assessing migration to AKS Automatic (use azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness).
Run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill azure-kubernetes-app-deploy -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/azure-skills/skills/azure-kubernetes/azure-kubernetes-app-deploy in microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure) into .claude/skills/azure-kubernetes-app-deploy in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill azure-kubernetes-app-deploy -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/azure-skills/skills/azure-kubernetes/azure-kubernetes-app-deploy in microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure) into .agents/skills/azure-kubernetes-app-deploy in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill azure-kubernetes-app-deploy -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/azure-kubernetes-app-deploy, .gemini/skills/azure-kubernetes-app-deploy, .github/skills/azure-kubernetes-app-deploy and .opencode/skills/azure-kubernetes-app-deploy in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Azure Kubernetes App Deploy needs the command-line tools its instructions call (az).
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Azure Kubernetes App Deploy is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 500 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 5k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Azure Kubernetes App Deploy: Pi K8s Deploy (rodrigorodrigues/microservices-design-patterns, 187 stars), Aspire Monitoring (CommunityToolkit/Aspire, 629 stars), Aks Deployment Skill (timothywarner/chatgptclass, 143 stars) and Ama Logs Update Charts Release Notes (microsoft/Docker-Provider, 174 stars).
