Deploy via azd

Use this path when the workspace already has an azure.yaml whose service host is appservice.

When to use

Condition	Use azd?
azure.yaml exists AND services.<name>.host: appservice	✅ Yes
azure.yaml exists but targets Container Apps / Functions / etc.	❌ Hand off to azure-prepare
No azure.yaml	❌ Use deploy-azcli.md

Confirm host target

# Look for `host: appservice` under services in azure.yaml
grep -E "host:\s*appservice" azure.yaml

# Look for `host: appservice` under services in azure.yaml
Select-String -Path azure.yaml -Pattern 'host:\s*appservice'

If no match → use the az CLI path.

Authenticate

azd auth login --check-status || azd auth login

azd auth login --check-status
if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { azd auth login }

Provision (first time only)
