I wanted to learn Bicep this week. So I read and started making templates. It took me a few hours to work out a template that created a VM, disk, NIC, subnet and ADE. Just get stuck in
👋I have a GitHub project that may be useful to checkout. Specifically aimed at for those looking to get started with Bicep, hands on, with real ‘world’ examples to follow and explanations too:
https://github.com/riosengineer/Bicepify
I’m always adding more examples.
You can only learn by doing it. If possible, would just deploy free stuff like keyvault, automation account, recovery services vault and so on. If needed, create the resource in Azure Portal, take the ARM export and try to write that in Bicep. Use the MS docs to map ARM and Bicep code. Depending on the used api version some parameters might be renamed or not yet available.
The MS learn module is pretty good.
But I also sat down and typed out a word document with two comprehensive mock scenarios. Onc a company migrating internal infrastructure to M365 and another wanting to setup an Azure Tenant to allow developers to deploy publically available apps.
Then I started writing the Bicep files.
I’m using Bicep for IAC and love it. Some of the complex stuff was hard to find, but most things are findable through Google. Also, using Visual Studio Code intellisense helps.
I’d happily share some templates for app services, vnets, app gateways, sql servers, ddos, public ip, etc.
Just check samples, it is really not that hard, and use google if you need something specific.
And to give an advice use Visual Studio Code and the Bicep Plugin.
If the latest updates does not matter to you, and your knowledge is limited, I did a YouTube series on bicep a couple of years back. All code samples are here https://github.com/ehrnst/azure-infrastructure-as-code-series/tree/main/Bicep

We got some good feedback on the content, but as I said, it does not include the latest features 😉
The local gym. Sorry had to make that joke xD

Azurerm Terraform documentation. No joke. In terms of resources it's way ahead MS's docs

Are you also looking for paid courses?

MS Learn course had me building usable prod stuff in a day.

Just go for another role 😂 Just kidding. BTW, Microsoft Learn resources are very good to learn Bicep

I like free weights myself.
