Deploying a Static Site on Azure with Bicep

Overview

The goal of this project was to get hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code by writing an Azure Bicep template to provision a real cloud resource. I used Bicep to define an Azure Storage Account with Static Website hosting enabled, then deployed it using the Azure CLI — turning this page into the end result.

What I Learned

• Idempotency Running the same Bicep template multiple times has no side effects. If the resources already exist in the desired state, Azure does nothing.
• Declarative Infrastructure Rather than scripting each step, Bicep lets you describe the desired end state and Azure handles provisioning. It shifts the focus from how to what.
• Bicep Building Blocks Working with parameters, variables, resource type strings, and API versions to define cloud resources in a structured, readable format.
• Azure CLI Using az deployment group create to deploy templates, inspect output, and manage resource groups from the terminal.
