So after a long break (caused by a combination of laziness and actually being busy), I’m attempting to get back into creating more video content.

In this video, I’m using Bicep to deploy Azure Data Factory! Bicep is Domain Specific Language for deploying resources to Azure and is a HUGE improvement over ARM templates.

I’ve been trying to learn Bicep for my new job. Usually when it comes to Infrastructure code, I’d opt for Terraform since that’s the first IaC tool I learnt. In my new role, I’m using ARM a lot more.

To be honest, I never really liked ARM. Messing about with JSON files wasn’t my idea of fun, so when I first saw Bicep I was keen to give it a go.

I’m also planning to do more content with Azure Data Factory, so I’d thought it be good to make a video combining the two.

If you have any questions about the video, feel free to comment here or on YouTube.
