Deploy Azure resources through native ARM JSON and Bicep declarations with parameters, variables, functions, dependencies, modules, loops, conditions, outputs, and controlled deployment modes.
How this module works
Use Bicep for readable authoring, compose modules around lifecycle boundaries, reference existing resources explicitly, validate what-if output, and understand how incremental or complete mode affects unmanaged resources.
