az bicep subcommand [options]

az bicep manages the Bicep CLI for Infrastructure as Code on Azure. Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL) that uses declarative syntax to deploy Azure resources, serving as a transparent abstraction over ARM templates.
The command group provides tools for building, validating, formatting, and publishing Bicep files, as well as converting existing ARM templates to Bicep format.

Decompilation from ARM templates produces functionally equivalent Bicep but may require manual refinement for readability. Bicep CLI is automatically installed on first use if not present. Module publishing requires a container registry with appropriate permissions.

Bicep was announced in August 2020 as a new language for Azure deployments, reaching version 1.0 in May 2021. It was designed to simplify the ARM template authoring experience while maintaining full compatibility with the Azure Resource Manager.
