What you'll learn

Managing Azure infrastructure manually or inconsistently across environments can lead to configuration drift, downtime, and compliance risks. In this course, Azure Infrastructure as Code with ARM and Bicep, you’ll gain the ability to define, deploy, and manage Azure infrastructure in a repeatable, automated, and compliant way using ARM templates and Bicep. First, you’ll explore how to write and validate infrastructure templates with parameters, modules, and resource definitions to ensure consistency and modular design. Next, you’ll discover how to deploy and update Azure resource groups using the Azure Portal, CLI, and PowerShell, selecting the best method for various DevOps workflows. Finally, you’ll learn how to preview infrastructure changes with what-if analysis, detect drift using change tracking tools, and validate templates with testing frameworks to maintain governance and predictability. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Azure Infrastructure as Code needed to confidently build, deploy, and manage secure and scalable cloud environments.
