Building in the Cloud with Bicep

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a vital part of the operational excellence we strive for in modern scalable solutions. IaC allows us to create repeatable environments and reduce environmental drift. There are many flavors of IaC supporting Azure: ARM, Bicep, and Terraform. Bicep simplifies the authoring experience over ARM with a cleaner syntax, improved type safety, and better support for modularity and code re-use. Bicep also differs from Terraform in how state is managed, simplifying the deployments. In this session, we’ll cover: - Bicep Basics and Advanced Topics - Parameters and variables - Conditionals - Loops - Modules - Private Registries - CI/CD for Infrastructure as Code - Repo structure and layout - Deployment After this Session you have the concepts and skills needed to build your infrastructure using Bicep.
