  • Anyone using ACR Repository for Bicep Modules with ADO?
    5 projects | /r/azuredevops | 24 Feb 2023
    Currently the automated testing we have in the pipeline is only building the bicep into ARM, and running psrule against the biceps (which, I think, is essentially the same thing). We used to run the Test-command of PSBicep-module (https://github.com/PSBicep/PSBicep/blob/main/Docs/Help/Test-BicepFile.md), but ran into problems with that one, as the module tends to lack behind latest bicep features a bit - same thing with a lot of tooling like psrule.

  • The powershell way to validate Azure infrastructure
    1 project | dev.to | 19 Feb 2023
    As devops I preferred an alternative way based on Powershell called PSRule for Azure which provides a suite of rules to validate resources and infrastructure as code (IaC) using PSRule. It provides two methods for analyzing Azure resources:
  • Can you block deployments of resources like app service using something other than policy?

    I have been playing around with Azure PRSULE by your colleague Bernie White : https://github.com/Azure/PSRule.Rules.Azure . in short, you call pull azure policies, convert them to rules, you can implement in pipelines and check your code base and thus pre-deployment architecture in bicep files. Thats not all, it will also use azure well architected framework defintions to check your bicep files. Coming from c# and tdd/bdd im dying for something like this and its a small step in the right direction.
