## Bicep

A language for declaratively deploying Azure resources. You can use Bicep instead of JSON for developing your Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates). Bicep simplifies the authoring experience by providing concise syntax, better support for code reuse, and improved type safety. Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL), which means it's designed for a particular scenario or domain. It isn't intended as a general programming language for writing applications.



## Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Template

A native infra-as-code solution for managing Azure resources using a declarative programming paradigm.
