Bicep is a declarative infrastructure-as-code language and toolchain for describing and deploying Azure resources, compiling down to ARM templates. It includes a CLI, VS Code tooling, and decompilation support for migrating existing ARM JSON templates.
Use cases
- deploy azure resources as code
- convert arm json templates to bicep
- define reusable azure infrastructure modules
- provision azure environments repeatedly and consistently
- replace hand-written arm templates with cleaner syntax
When to choose
- you deploy to Azure and want simpler syntax than ARM JSON
- you want type checking, modularity, and tooling for Azure IaC
- you need to migrate existing ARM templates to a maintainable format
When to avoid
- your infrastructure targets AWS, GCP, or multi-cloud (use Terraform/Pulumi)
- you need a general-purpose programming language rather than a declarative DSL
