Question

biceps verify current subscription id

Jan Vávra 386

Hello. Can I somehow verify current subscription id in my bicep script to prevent to be run on bad subscription?
My plan is to place the subscription id in paramters.json.

Hi, thanks for your question at Q&A.

You can get the ID of the current subscription as subscription().subscriptionId in your Bicep code. You could compare that to the parameters you plan to create and then conditionally deploy the resources. See this documentation on conditional deployment.

To prevent code becoming overly complex by using this practice you could wrap resourcegroup scoped deployments as modules in a subscription scoped deployment where you conditionally deploy the modules. That way you can keep the code for the modules themselves tidy and simple.

Finally I wrote a batch script:

@echo off

set "SUBSCRIPTION_NAME=Předplatné sady Visual Studio Enterprise – MPN"
set "SUBSCRIPTION_ID=2c1d5ee4..."

az account show | findstr /r /c:".id"":.""%SUBSCRIPTION_ID%"""
if %ERRORLEVEL% neq 0 (
echo Bad subscription or not logged in.
az account show

)

else (

az account subscription show --subscription-id "%SUBSCRIPTION_ID%" | findstr "displayName id"
az deployment sub create -f .\main.bicep -l westeurope --parameters "@main.parameters.dev.json" -c

)

I'd apreciate to have some parametr --ensure-subscription-id.
