Bicep is the new language for deploying your Infrastructure as Code (IaC) on Azure. It\u2019s much simpler to write and read than JSON ARM templates, and it provides type safety and better modularity. All Azure resources supported by ARM templates are also supported by Bicep, and Bicep enables you to easily build complex deployments for all of your Azure infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>To unlock the power of Bicep, take the learning paths on <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/learnbicep\">Microsoft Learn<\/a>. They guide you through the basic syntax and simple scenarios all the way to increasingly complex Bicep files. You\u2019ll learn how Azure represents various types of resources and how you can deploy and configure them using Bicep. You\u2019ll also learn tons of practical tips and proven best practices from engineers throughout Microsoft and the community.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting Started<\/h2>\n<p>Get started right away and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-resource-manager\/bicep\/install\">install Bicep<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"DevOpsLab Level up your Bicep skills on Microsoft Learn\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VfZG8cwAZX4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Follow the series by subscribing to our <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/DevOpsLab\">YouTube channel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDevOpsLab\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> you can see how to deploy Bicep on <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/features\/actions\">GitHub Actions<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/services\/devops\/?nav=min\">Azure DevOps<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2>Learn about DevOps and follow us for regular updates:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/DevOpsLab\">The DevOps Lab on YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDevOpsLab\">The DevOps Lab on Twitter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/channel9.msdn.com\/Shows\/DevOps-Lab\">The DevOps Lab on Channel9<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC-ikyViYMM69joIAv7dlMsA\">Azure DevOps YouTube Channel<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Useful Docs:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/free\/?WT.mc_id=devops-15965-jagord\">Microsoft Azure: $200 Free Credit<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuredevopslabs.com\/\">Azure DevOps Hands on Labs<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/learn\/paths\/evolve-your-devops-practices\/\">Get started with Azure DevOps learning path<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting started with Bicep<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11848,"featured_media":62450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[224,226,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-azure","category-ci","category-devops"],"acf":[],"blog_post_summary":"<p>Getting started with Bicep<\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11848"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
