Check	Description
Config Load	YAML parses and schema validates
Azure Connectivity	`az account show` succeeds
Resource Group	Target RG exists or can be created
Network	VNet/subnet exist and have available IPs
Permissions	Current identity has required RBAC roles
Key Vault	Referenced vault is accessible

Post-Deployment Checks¶

Check	Tool	Description
Host Pool Health	PowerShell	Session hosts registered and available
