Deploying locally with the Azure CLI

Bicep simplifies the deployment and management of Azure resources by providing a domain-specific language compiled into ARM templates using bicep-cli. Authorization for bicep-cli is facilitated through the Azure CLI, ensuring seamless integration and secure access to Azure resources.

In our Bicep implementation, we’ll begin by organizing our resources in a single main.bicep file and use separate resource-type files to enhance reusability. These .bicep files contain the definitions of our resources, making it easier to manage and maintain our infrastructure as code.

For a smooth development experience, you can use the Bicep extension in Visual Code or Visual Studio, which utilizes the Azure CLI internally. This extension offers a user-friendly interface, allowing you to interact with Bicep through prompts instead of running Azure CLI commands directly.
