-### Production Deployment (Azure)
-
-**Note:** This is how the production deployment will be set up once. But then the plan will be future updates are effectively a login + `pulumi up` from GitHub Actions.
-
-Pre-requisites:
-- [Pulumi CLI installed](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/download-install/)
-- A Microsoft Azure account
-- [Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/cli/azure/get-started-with-azure-cli) installed
-
-1. Login to Azure: `az login`
-2. Create a resource group: `az group create --name official-mcp-registry-prod --location eastus`
-3. Add the storage resource provider: `az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Storage`
-4. Create a storage account: `az storage account create --name officialmcpregistryprod --resource-group official-mcp-registry-prod --location eastus --sku Standard_LRS`
-5. Add the 'Storage Blob Data Contributor' role assignment for yourself on the storage account: `az role assignment create --assignee $(az ad signed-in-user show --query id -o tsv) --role "Storage Blob Data Contributor" --scope "/subscriptions/$(az account show --query id -o tsv)/resourceGroups/official-mcp-registry-prod"`
-6. Create a container: `az storage container create --name pulumi-state --account-name officialmcpregistryprod`
-7. Set Pulumi's backend to Azure: `pulumi login 'azblob://pulumi-state?storage_account=officialmcpregistryprod'`
-8. Init the production stack: `pulumi stack init aksProd`
-  - TODO: This has a password that maybe needs to be shared with select contributors?
-9. Deploy: `go build && PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE="" pulumi up --yes`
-10. Access the repository via the ingress load balancer. You can find its external IP with `kubectl get svc ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx` or view it in the Pulumi outputs. Then run `curl -H "Host: prod.registry.modelcontextprotocol.io" -k https://<EXTERNAL-IP>/v0/ping` to check that the service is up.
