Agentic Platform Engineering for Azure
Use GitHub Copilot agents to capture requirements, assess costs and policy, and generate Bicep or Terraform. Review the evidence and approve each handoff before deployment.
How it works
Review the plan before deploying
Each main agent owns a step. You select the agent and approve the next action.
The workflow
Start with requirements and architecture, then discover governance constraints and approve an implementation plan. Generate and validate the code before authorizing deployment. Record the observed result in as-built documentation.
What you get
- Bicep or Terraform code based on an approved implementation plan.
- Architecture decisions, cost estimates, and discovered policy constraints.
- Validation results and the reviews required by each step’s contract.
- As-built records that distinguish provisioning, health checks, and unresolved issues.
