Bicep
Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL) for declaratively deploying Azure resources using infrastructure as code (IaC). It provides a cleaner syntax and improved developer experience compared to writing Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates directly, while compiling down to standard ARM JSON. Bicep simplifies the creation, management, and deployment of Azure infrastructure by abstracting away the complexity of ARM templates.
Developers should learn Bicep when working with Azure to streamline infrastructure deployment, as it reduces boilerplate code, enhances readability, and integrates seamlessly with Azure services. It is particularly useful for DevOps scenarios, CI/CD pipelines, and managing complex Azure environments where repeatable and version-controlled infrastructure is required, offering better tooling support like IntelliSense and modularity.
