Runs az login --use-device-code. A URL + code appear in the live output - open the URL in any browser, enter the code, and pick your Work or School account. Signs out of any existing session first, so re-running refreshes your token.
Runs az login — a browser sign-in window opens (use this when your tenant blocks device-code sign-in). Signs out of any existing session first. If the window never appears, switch back to Device code.
Pre-flight
Captures subscription, tenant, your object ID, and egress IP, prefills the forms, then runs the readiness checks (permissions, resource providers, App Service quota) — see the Readiness tab.
1 · State Backend
2 · Secrets Vault
2b · Seed Secrets
Writes install secrets into the bootstrap Key Vault. Values are sent once and never stored on disk.
3 · Main Deploy
This will set up the main resource group. If Provision dev slot is checked, it will add that as well.
4 · Post-apply
Tick the steps to run - uncheck any you'll do manually. Only checked steps run; the rest are marked skipped. The "Open temp SQL firewall" step enables Public Network Access (Selected networks) and adds your egress IP; "Remove temp SQL firewall" reverts it to Disabled. The dev-slot steps (grant, restart, Admin Center checklist) auto-skip with a log line if no dev slot was provisioned.
Fills every tab with each field's default name + these initials appended, so names don't collide with other clients. Short, lowercase, ideally ≤5 chars. Pre-flight values (subscription, IPs) are kept.
