In this intermediate level series, we will explore using Bicep to deploy a more complex set of services in Azure. Services like Application Insights, Key Vault, and Azure Monitor can quickly increase the complexity of your deployment with added requirements. We will discuss design consideration for templates with multiple modules. We will share tips and tricks for developing your Bicep modules to be re-usable across multiple projects. This will help you to develop, test, and deploy your Bicep templates and modules faster.

In this first session we will go over a brief overview of Bicep and the problems it was created to solve. We will investigate some of the features of the tooling as well as tips to help you to work with templates more efficiently.  We’ll cover some tips and tricks including snippets, module and variable navigation, Bicep Deploy, using outputs to test parameters, Azure resource naming, bicep config files, and more! If you’re ready to take your Bicep skills to the next level, make sure to not miss this session.
