Defining your Azure infrastructure as code with Bicep
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) in Azure is Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. After all, for every service – regardless of how you deploy it – an ARM template is created in the background. However, when you think of ARM, you probably also think of JSON files that are difficult to maintain and read. At least that’s what I think. Microsoft had the same thought as I did. So they launched Project Bicep, a domain specific language (DLS) or mini language. This means that Bicep is designed specifically for declarative development of Azure resources.
