It’s no secret that developers don’t like using JSON files to declare their resources in Azure because of issues such as parameter duplication and not being able to use comments in templates. Azure Bicep helps resolve these issues, and this book will guide you, as a developer or DevOps engineer, to get the most out of the Bicep language.The book takes you on a journey from understanding Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates and what their drawbacks are to how you can use Bicep to overcome them. You will get familiar with tools such as Visual Studio Code, the Bicep extension, the Azure CLI, PowerShell, Azure DevOps, and GitHub for writing reusable, maintainable templates. After that, you’ll test the templates and deploy them to an Azure environment either from your own system or via a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. The book features a detailed overview of all the Bicep features, when to use what, and how to write great templates that fit well into your existing pipelines or in a new one. The chapters progress from easy to advanced topics and every effort has been put into making them easy to follow with examples, all of which are accessible via GitHub.By the end of this book, you’ll have developed a solid understanding of Azure Bicep and will be able to create, test, and deploy your resources locally or in your CI/CD pipelines.

Infrastruktura jako kod. Dynamiczne systemy w epoce chmury
Kief Morris
Sześć lat temu pojęcie infrastruktury jako kodu było czymś nowym. Dzisiaj, gdy nawet banki i inne konserwatywne organizacje planują przejść na korzystanie z chmury, zespoły programistów w firmach na całym świecie próbują budować duże bazy kodu infrastruktury. W swojej praktycznej książce Kief Morris z ThoughtWorks wyjaśnia, jak efektywnie zarządzać infrastrukturą w epoce chmury, używając zasad, praktyk i wzorców zainicjowanych przez zespoły DevOps. Nowe, uaktualnione wydanie, przeznaczone dla administratorów systemów, inżynierów infrastruktury, programistów, kierowników zespołów i architektów, pokazuje, jak wykorzystywać technologie chmury i automatyzacji do łatwego, bezpiecznego, szybkiego i odpowiedzialnego wprowadzania zmian. Czytając tę książkę dowiesz się, jak definiować wszystko jako kod i jak używać projektów oprogramowania i praktyk inżynieryjnych do tworzenia systemów składających się z małych, luźno sprzężonych elementów. Książka obejmuje następujące zagadnienia: • Podstawy: wykorzystywanie infrastruktury jako kodu do ciągłego wprowadzania zmian i podnoszenia jakości operacyjnej za pomocą narzędzi i technologii przeznaczonych do budowy platform opartych na chmurze • Stosy infrastruktury: sposoby definiowania, udostępniania, testowania i ciągłego dostarczania zmian zasobów infrastruktury • Serwery i inne platformy: używanie wzorców do projektowania udostępniania oraz konfiguracji serwerów i klastrów • Duże systemy i zespoły: przepływy, zarządzanie i wzorce architektoniczne używane do tworzenia elementów infrastruktury i zarządzania nimi „Praktyki infrastruktury jako kodu przeszły ewolucję od zarządzania serwerami do zarządzania całymi stosami, ale ich nowe możliwości zostały osiągnięte kosztem złożoności. Książka wykracza poza same polecenia. Prezentuje wzorce projektowe kryjące się za dobrymi praktykami oraz metody automatyzacji na wyższym poziomie”. —Patrick Debois założyciel DevOpsDays Kief Morris jest globalnym dyrektorem ds. inżynierii chmurowej w ThoughtWorks. Pomaga organizacjom i zespołom szukać lepszych sposobów wykorzystywania technologii infrastruktury i chmury do szybszego i bardziej niezawodnego uzyskiwania większych korzyści. Od ponad 20 lat zajmuje się projektowaniem, tworzeniem i uruchamianiem zautomatyzowanej infrastruktury serwerów IT. Zaczynał od skryptów powłoki i Perla, a następnie, w miarę pojawiania się nowych technologii, przeszedł między innymi na CFengine, Puppet, Chef i Terraform.
