We began with the fundamentals of JSON syntax and ARM templates, which laid a solid foundation for understanding Azure Bicep. We then looked at Bicep's declarative syntax, including parameters, conditions, and loops that enable dynamic and flexible deployments. We discussed the practical aspects of developing reusable modules, automating deployments with CI/CD pipelines, and managing multiple environments. I demonstrated how to handle deployment failures using rollback and rollforward strategies, as well as Blue-Green Deployments, which reduce downtime and risk during updates. Furthermore, we investigated secure parameter handling with Azure Key Vault to ensure that your deployments are both efficient and secure.
