  • Module 1: Build a basic deployment pipeline for Bicep infrastructure as code templates by using Azure DevOps and Azure Pipelines.
  • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Automate Bicep deployments by using a pipeline in Azure Pipelines
    • Set up a service connection to authenticate a pipeline to Azure
    • Select an appropriate pipeline trigger and set of tasks for a Bicep deployment
  • Module 2: Learn how to create, manage, and grant permissions to service principals, which enable your deployment pipelines to securely authenticate to Azure.
  • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Explain what a service principal is, how it works, and how it compares to a managed identity
    • Create a service principal and manage its keys
    • Configure the appropriate authorization for a service principal to deploy Azure resources
  • Module 3: Build a deployment pipeline for Bicep infrastructure as code templates. Lint, validate, preview, and test your Bicep code by using Azure DevOps and Azure Pipelines.
  • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Add Bicep code linting during continuous integration
    • Add preflight deployment validation during build or release stages
    • Add what-if checks, including manual approval steps
    • Verify the configuration of the deployed environment
  • Module 4: Build a deployment pipeline for Bicep IaC templates. Deploy to multiple environments by using pipeline template YAML files. Learn how to provide environment-specific parameters from your pipeline.
  • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Deploy Bicep files to multiple Azure environments from a pipeline
    • Use pipeline templates to avoid repetition
    • Use and secure parameters for each environment
  • Module 5: Build a deployment pipeline for Bicep infrastructure as code templates. Create a single pipeline to deploy infrastructure, applications, and data.
  • After completing this module, you'll be able to:

    • Deploy Azure infrastructure, applications, database scripts, and storage blobs from a single pipeline
    • Use pipeline scripts and pipeline tasks to perform deployment steps
    • Use pipeline artifacts to publish compiled files for your deployment pipeline stages to use
    • Pass data from your Bicep files to other deployment steps by using outputs
