    Not sure what your requirements are for IAC but we started our eslz with bicep and using this https://github.com/Azure/ALZ-Bicep repo. We had some consultants help build and then train us to do the deployments. I was able to pick up bicep quickly. By the end of the engagement I was modifying our IAC as the need arises. I did try terraform but found it a bit cumbersome. I prefer how bicep is incremental vs terraform having a state file to manage. They both have their place and probably both are just as excellent in the right hands. But I personally got a lot farther on day one playing with bicep then I didi with terraform.

    Also, take a look at the Azure Landing Zones bicep implementation (and follow the links to generic landing zones documentation, if you haven't gone through that yet) - again, probably not something for here and now, but something you might want to read when thinking about if there are more applicatons coming in, or need to scale more.
  • Migrating to Azure
    1 project | /r/AZURE | 11 Feb 2023
    1) Personally I would deploy the CAF blueprints (through the portal, or even better through CI/CD, I'm personally a fan of the Bicep templates. Then depending on what's already in the cloud (number wise, can you take a weekend of being offline while you fix it etc), you can opt to move the VMs out of the existing subscription/vnet, or recreate connectivity in a separate hub network. Ideally the AD VMs are moved to the identity subscription as well, so that's a 3rd sub.

    - Deploy hub with adaptation of https://github.com/Azure/ALZ-Bicep - Deploy landing zone (ie. subscriptions into management group structure) implementation with a service principal scoped on management group. This step has a generic implementation with subscription-specific parameters. - Deploy workloads to the landing zone with service principal created by the previous step.
