Bicep Language Eases Azure Resource Deployment

• Bicep is a new specialized programming language that could make provisioning Azure resources less tedious and error-prone and promote reuse of proven configurations.
• It uses coding syntax and elements similar to other modern programming languages, which could reduce complexities compared to using Azure Resource Manager templates.
• It does not replace management tools such as the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or PowerShell.

Bicep is an open source software domain-specific language (DSL) designed exclusively for the provisioning of Azure resources by administrators and developers. It is easier to work with than Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, which are verbose and cumbersome to read and write, but it is fully compatible with them. It brings several traditional programming features that could simplify Azure provisioning processes and enable code reuse, saving time and reducing redundant efforts. However, Bicep is in preview, and it will require training.
