Implementing Self-Service Infrastructure with Bicep

Completed

Estimated Time: 20 minutes

Scenario

In a platform engineering environment, developers need a way to provision infrastructure consistently and efficiently. This lab will guide you through using Bicep, an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, to deploy and manage Azure resources in a self-service manner. You'll create a Bicep template to provision a resource group, an Azure App Service, an Azure SQL Database, and a Storage Account while enforcing governance with tagging and policies.

Objectives

After completing this lab, you can:

• Set up Bicep in your environment.
• Create a Bicep template to define Azure resources.
• Deploy an Azure App Service with a SQL Database backend.
• Enforce governance using tags and policies.
• Implement automated scaling with Bicep.

Requirements

• Azure subscription - If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account.
• Basic knowledge of Azure services and Azure CLI.
• Visual Studio Code installed with the Bicep extension.
• Azure CLI installed and configured on your local machine.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concepts.

Exercises

During this lab, you complete the following exercises:

• Exercise 1: Create a Bicep template to deploy Azure resources.
• Exercise 2: Enforce governance with tags and policies.
• Exercise 3: Implement automated scaling with Bicep.
