Azure Bicep Deploy

Prerequisites (Required)

Before using this skill, ensure:

  1. Azure CLI installed bash az --version Install from: https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli

  2. Azure CLI authenticated bash az login # Interactive login az login --tenant <tenant-id> # For specific tenant az account show # Verify logged in

  3. Correct subscription selected (if multiple) bash az account list # List subscriptions az account set --subscription <sub-id> # Switch subscription

  4. Bicep CLI installed bash az bicep install # Install Bicep az bicep version # Verify installation Or use built-in: az deployment group create auto-compiles Bicep

Deploy a Bicep File

az deployment group create 
  --resource-group <rg-name> 
  --template-file <path-to-bicep> 
  --parameters <params-file>.json

Deploy an ARM Template

az deployment group create 
  --resource-group <rg-name> 
  --template-file <path-to-arm.json> 
  --parameters <params-file>.json

Validate a Template (What-If)

az deployment group what-if 
  --resource-group <rg-name> 
  --template-file <path-to-bicep>

Validate Syntax Only (Bicep)

az bicep build --file <bicep-file>

Multi-Environment Deployments

Use parameter files for each environment:

params/
├── dev.bicepparam      # or dev.json
├── staging.bicepparam  # or staging.json
└── prod.bicepparam     # or prod.json

Deploy with environment:

az deployment group create 
  --resource-group <rg>-dev 
  --template-file main.bicep 
  --parameters @params/dev.json

Azure Container Apps

See references/container-apps.md for detailed Container App patterns including: - Basic container deployment - Ingress configuration - Scaling rules - revisions/versions

Create New Resources

When asked to create Azure resources via Bicep:

  1. Check if existing templates in references/ match your need
  2. For Container Apps: use the sample in assets/container-app/
  3. For other resources: generate using az bicep build-params --file or reference Azure QuickStart Templates

Scripts

Copy scripts from references or use directly:

  • references/deploy.md — Deployment script with environment selection
  • references/validate.md — Validate and what-if
  • references/bicep-build.md — Build Bicep to ARM

Quick deploy (copy-paste one-liner):

az deployment group create --resource-group <rg> --template-file main.bicep --parameters @params/dev.json
