Bicep 101
summary
Live demo shows Bicep authoring in VS Code, deploying an app service plan, handling a real error (missing sku) and redeploying successfully, so tooling and pre-flight validation caught issues before production. Covers parameters, loops, modules (local and OCI/registry), Azure Verified Modules, multi-scope deployment across resource groups/subscriptions and CI/CD options, with telemetry claiming very low deployment error rate. Good if wanting concrete workflows, commands, and a working demo of module publishing.
