Local vs production

Concern	Production (Azure App Service)	Local / non-Azure
IS_AZURE_ENVIRONMENT	true (set by Pulumi)	unset/false
HSTS / secure cookies / SSL redirect	Enabled	Not applied by this package
Database	Entra token password, sslmode=require	Not configured by this package unless you set the same env vars
Storage / CDN / email	From App Settings (MAILERS when AZURE_COMMUNICATION_SERVICE_ENDPOINT is set)	Only if you set matching env vars
Redis / tasks / cron	Sidecar + flags when enabled	Off unless you set REDIS_SIDECAR / DJANGO_TASKS / DJANGO_RQ_CRON
build_info	From BASE_DIR/build-info.json	In DEBUG, synthetic values
Deploy scripts	Used by Oryx / startup	Not used unless you run them
Health path	/health-check via App Setting	Settings default is /health if env unset

Importing pulumi_django_azure.settings locally is mostly inert without Azure environment variables. Provide your own local DATABASES, storages, and MAILERS (or leave AZURE_COMMUNICATION_SERVICE_ENDPOINT unset) as usual.
