Azure Kubernetes App Deploy

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 FOR: creating or provisioning an AKS cluster (use azure-kubernetes), assessing migration to AKS Automatic (use azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness), or deploying to non-AKS targets like Web Apps, Container Apps, or Functions.

File contents

Deploy to AKS

Use when: deploying a web app/API to AKS; containerizing for Kubernetes; generating manifests; AKS CI/CD; DS001–DS013 failures.

Not for: provisioning clusters (azure-kubernetes), AKS Automatic readiness (azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness), non-AKS targets.

When to invoke

"Deploy my web app to an existing AKS cluster."
"Containerize this API and generate Kubernetes manifests."
"Set up CI/CD for my AKS deployment."
"My AKS deployment is failing Deployment Safeguards checks."

Workflow

Requires: existing AKS cluster, az login, kubectl configured. Follow phases/quick-deploy.md. On failure: references/rollback.md.

Output template

## AKS deployment result

**Status:** deployed | failed | blocked
**Summary:** <one sentence covering scope and outcome>

### Details
Detected framework, generated Dockerfile and manifests, and rollout status.

### Validation
- <check performed>: <result and evidence>

Quality gate

Manifests satisfy the Deployment Safeguards checklist.
Rollout status and pod health were verified after apply.
The output follows ## Output template exactly.
Every reported check was performed and its evidence is shown.
Irreversible Azure actions were confirmed with the user first.
