Build and Lint Bicep Codes within CI/CD Pipelines: GitHub Actions & ARM Template Toolkit

• bicep

  74 3,111 0.0 Bicep

  Bicep is a declarative language for describing and deploying Azure resources

  

  In my previous post, I introduced the Project Bicep that build ARM templates way easier. Throughout this post, I'm going to discuss ARM Template Toolkit (ARM-TTK) to lint and validate the templates, and how this process can be applied to our CI/CD pipelines using the GitHub Actions workflow.

• Pester

  24 3,009 6.2 PowerShell

  Pester is the ubiquitous test and mock framework for PowerShell.

  

  Once we build an ARM template, we need to verify whether the template is written in a proper way or will be working as expected. I wrote a couple of blog posts, #1 and #2, using Pester for ARM Template validation. However, that approach required us to log in to Azure first, which was doable but less desirable. What if we can verify the template without having to log in to Azure?

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• arm-ttk

  2 421 7.2 PowerShell

  Azure Resource Manager Template Toolkit

  

  In order to use ARM TTK, I'd recommend cloning the GitHub repository rather than downloading the artifact linked from the official document because the repository gets regularly updated in a fast pace.

• LiveStream-VM-Setup-Sample

  1 4 2.6 PowerShell

  This provides a sample ARM template and custom script to install applications for live streaming

  

  The sample Bicep code used in this post can be downloaded from this GitHub repository.
