Book DescriptionAzure Bicep is a newer, more concise and easier-to-use way to deploy Azure resources than Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. If you are interested in learning Azure Bicep, this book is a good place to start.

This book will teach you the essential concepts of infrastructure as code (IaC) and how to use Azure Bicep to author and manage cloud resources in Microsoft Azure. You will start by learning why IaC is important and how it can help you improve the efficiency and agility of your cloud deployments. You will then learn how to install and manage Azure Bicep, and how to use it to create and deploy cloud resources. The book also includes hands-on exercises that will help you practice what you have learned.

By the end of the book, you will be able to build and automate deployment of your own cloud infrastructure with best practices using Azure Bicep code and tools like GitHub workflows, Azure DevOps pipelines, Azure CLI, and PowerShell scripts.What you will learn
