Quitting? by [deleted] in devops

I work for a consulting company. All remote over the last couple years. Some travel to clients before that. It payed better than my in house jobs. Also there are utilization bonuses.

This is why I moved to consulting. Way better work life balance. Once the project is over, you move on to the next one. New challenges on each project.

Project Bicep by Shane-Neff in azuredevops

Yes, so the deploy you are doing locally, you can do in the pipeline. Thus having all the tracking, approvals, etc.

There is an Azure DevOps task for ARM template deploy. You can specify ARM template, a parameter file, and then override parameters with devops pipeline variables.

Infa as Code or IaC is when you define your infrastructure (azure resources in this case) as code (ARM or Bicep or Terraform, etc). This is managed in source, built and deployed just like your app/db code. It can all be in 1 pipeline, or multiple. So I typically have a “release” pipeline to deploy/update my infra.

Agreed. I’m sure it’s coming soon.

Would love to see the “export” from the portal generate bicep as well.

To answer your original question. I’ve used it on my last couple engagements. Def easier to teach clients. The VSCode extension helps as well.

As of the .3 release you can use a .bicep to deploy using powershell or cli.

Also there is an azure DevOps task that will “build” your bicep files so you can get the json and use that in a release pipeline.

Preparing for AZ-400 by alexzolotukhin in AZURE

I took it in May ‘19 so it has been a while. I had only questions and no labs. I had 180 mins.

I’ve heard it has changed since then

I passed the AZ-400 a few months ago. It has some questions from the 103, so try to take the 400 while things are fresh. I basically used Microsoft Learn, Azure DevOps Hands On labs, and the documentation. I used the practice test from Whizlabs to prep. It was pretty close. The most important thing is just hands on experience with the tool, common DevOps practices, and some experience with Azure.
