Best practices

Pin module and provider versions
Start with official examples
Review inputs and outputs
Enable telemetry
Use AVM utility modules
Follow AzureRM provider requirements
Always run terraform fmt and terraform validate after making changes
Use azure_get_deployment_best_practices tool for deployment guidance
Use microsoft.docs.mcp tool to look up Azure service-specific guidance

Custom Instructions for GitHub Copilot Agents

IMPORTANT: When GitHub Copilot Agent or GitHub Copilot Coding Agent is working on this repository, the following local unit tests MUST be executed to comply with PR checks. Failure to run these tests will cause PR validation failures:

bash

./avm pre-commit
./avm tflint
./avm pr-check

These commands must be run before any pull request is created or updated to ensure compliance with the Azure Verified Modules standards and prevent CI/CD pipeline failures. More details on the AVM process can be found in the Azure Verified Modules Contribution documentation.
