Did you know… Azure bicepparam files are a thing 😮

Azure bicep templates allow parameters to be passed in through .json files. Although, another alternative is to use .bicepparam files.

As opposed to .json files, .bicepparam files allow:

• ✅IntelliSense
• ✅Language expressions
• ✅Type checking
• ✅To shift left and catch errors early. e.g., red squiggles on missing params

And of course, deployment commands are defined as usual, except the — parameters flag gets passed a .bicepparam file instead of .json file.

az deployment group create \
  --name ExampleDeployment \
  --resource-group ExampleGroup \
  --template-file main.bicep \
  --parameters main.dev.bicepparam
