with Chris Reddington, John Downs, Mauro Contreras

Learn Live

Validate and test your Bicep code in your deployment workflow. You'll use linting, preflight validation, and the what-if operation to validate your Azure changes before you deploy, and you'll test your resources after each deployment.

Learning objectives

  • Add Bicep code linting during continuous integration
  • Add preflight deployment validation during build or release jobs
  • Add what-if checks, including manual approval steps
  • Verify the configuration of the deployed environment
