This is the code repository for Infrastructure as Code with Azure Bicep, published by Packt.
Streamline Azure resource deployment by bypassing ARM complexities
It's no secret that developers don't like using JSON files to declare their resources in Azure because of issues such as parameter duplication and not being able to use comments in templates. Azure Bicep helps resolve these issues and this book will guide you as a developer or DevOps engineer to get the most out of the Bicep language.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Get started with Azure Bicep and install the necessary tools
- Understand the details of how to define resources with Bicep
- Use modules to create templates for different teams in your company
- Optimize templates using expressions, conditions, and loops
- Make customizable templates using parameters, variables, and functions
- Deploy templates locally or from Azure DevOps or GitHub
- Stay on top of your IaC with best practices and industry standards

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
resource stg 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2021-02-01' = {
name: 'name'
location: resourceGroup().location
kind: 'StorageV2'
sku: {
name: 'Standard_LRS'
}
}
output storageKey string = stg.listKeys().key[0].value
