Building Solutions in Azure Using the Bicep Language

As organizations increasingly move toward cloud-based infrastructure, the need for efficient and reliable deployment workflows has become critical. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a key approach to managing cloud resources, allowing teams to define their IaC and manage it through version control and automation tools. IaC is a paradigm shift that can enable organizations to improve their deployment workflows, reduce errors, and increase agility. In this chapter, we will explore the use of Bicep, a new Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for deploying Azure resources, as a tool for implementing IaC.

Bicep is a declarative language that enables developers and DevOps teams to define their IaC, making it easy to manage, automate, and deploy cloud resources. Bicep is an open source project that is optimized for use with Azure resources, providing a simple syntax for defining complex infrastructure topologies. In this chapter, we will provide...
