Bicep
Bicep was created to address the limitations of ARM templates. Bicep is a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) and an open-source project from Microsoft that provides a more concise and user-friendly way of defining ARM templates. It uses declarative syntax to deploy Azure resources and provides concise syntax, reliable type safety, and support for code reuse.
With Bicep files, you define the desired infrastructure and its properties for deployment. Notably, Bicep offers a more concise syntax compared to ARM templates, making it more accessible and easier to read and write for non-developers.

Bicep is designed to be easier to read, write, and maintain than ARM templates, while providing full backward compatibility with them. It is essentially a higher-level abstraction of ARM templates, which allows you to write IaC in a more declarative and readable way.
Bicep provides all the benefits that we stated earlier for ARM templates, with the following addition...
