    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.

    We have a separate parameter file for every landing zone instance (our implementation is a bare-bones CAF landing zone, kinda like https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules/tree/main/modules/lz/sub-vending, which is avaible from bicep public registry), where instance is for example a separate environment (dev/test/prod). This parameter file only represents the configuration, so things like subnets, nsgs and so on, and it has nothing to do with the landing zone implementation as such.
  • ARM / Bicep template development just by hand?

    As you point out, it is another layer of abstraction that can make it more complex. Specifically it will add a pain point with the replication of the modules from /ResourceModules to the private repo. (I dont have a good solution for that at the moment) Microsoft has a public container registry (https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules) that someday may be updated to contain everything in /ResourceModules

    Still a work in progress, but the official bicep registry - https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules
  • Anyone know if it is doable to rewrite this github workflow to ado pipeline?
