Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,037 views
Project Bicep is presented as a next-generation domain-specific language for simplifying Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template authoring, addressing issues like verbosity and complexity in existing JSON formats. It provides features such as reusability, modularity, and conditional deployments while offering day 0 support for all Azure resource types. Bicep files transpile into ARM templates, and the open-source tool integrates seamlessly with Azure CLI and PowerShell.

- 3. WHY BICEP Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates are verbose Become difficult to understand as the complexity of the deployment increases Modularity and code re-use has always been a problem JSON is really meant for data representation and data exchange
- 4. WHAT IS BICEP A Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for declaratively deploying Azure resources Not a general purpose programming language Offers an easier and more concise syntax Day 0 support for all Azure resource types and API versions A transparent abstraction over the JSON for ARM templates Each Bicep file transpiles to an ARM template Open source: https://github.com/Azure/bicep Current version is 0.3 (with production support!) Integrated with Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell Bicep Language ARM Template Azure Resource Manager bicep build az deployment group create Compute Network Storage +250 Resource Providers
- 5. BICEP LANGUAGE FEATURES Reusability via parameters Complexity reduction via variables, expressions, and built-in functions Iterative deployments using different looping constructs Conditional deployments Scoped deployments Modules for reducing template complexity and provide reuse
