The command "az bicep install" is used to install the Azure Bicep extension for the Azure CLI (Command-Line Interface).
Azure Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL) and a new way to define Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. It provides a more readable and easier-to-write syntax compared to traditional ARM templates. By installing the Azure Bicep extension, you can leverage the power of Bicep to write infrastructure-as-code for Azure resources.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "az" is the Azure CLI command-line tool.
- "bicep" is the Azure Bicep extension included in the Azure CLI.
- "install" is the sub-command used to install the extension.
When you run this command, it checks if the Azure Bicep extension is already installed. If not, it downloads and installs the latest version for you. Once installed, you can start using the "bicep" commands to work with Bicep files and deploy Azure resources using Bicep templates.
