Best Practices for Writing Clean, Maintainable, and Efficient Bicep Code

With the increasing adoption of cloud services, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools like Bicep have become essential for automating and managing resources in Microsoft Azure. Bicep, a domain-specific language (DSL) for deploying Azure resources, offers a simpler syntax compared to ARM templates, making it easier to write and manage infrastructure configurations. However, like any codebase, Bicep can become hard to maintain and inefficient without careful attention to best practices.

You always think your environment is set up correctly and that you’re able to recover in case of a disaster.
You make backups, test your backups, set up DR solutions, and in the end test the DR plan (very important). But have you ever considered a situation where all your data is unusable?

If you get infected with ransomware, and the trojan gets a hand on your backups, all your precautions and preparations have been for nothing.
