    Azure Quickstart Templates

  • Note: Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code tooling has kept getting better and better. But sometimes, getting started with ARM templates could be a challenge. This is where the Azure Quickstart Templates Gallery comes in. It makes it easier to get started quickly. These templates aren't necessarily production ready (so you'll need to tweak these to your specific scenario), but they give you a great starting point across hundreds (seriously!) of scenarios.

    Bicep is a declarative language for describing and deploying Azure resources

  • You may have already heard about Project Bicep before reading this post. It's been around for some time (I believe since around Ignite 2020, or a little before). It's currently in version 0.4, but has been confirmed as ready for production-use since version 0.3. According to the GitHub repository, all resource types, apiVersions, and properties that are valid in an ARM template are equally valid in Bicep on day one (even if Bicep warns that type information is not available for a resource, it can still be deployed).

  • 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.
