az-bicep: Build a Bicep file.
$ az bicep build --file ${filename-bicep}
try on your machine

This command is used to build an Azure Bicep template file and convert it into an ARM Template JSON file. Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • az bicep build: This is the Azure CLI command to build the Bicep template.

  • --file: This flag specifies the Bicep template file that you want to build.

  • ${filename-bicep}: This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual filename of the Bicep template file. The ${filename-bicep} syntax implies that you need to substitute this part with the desired filename.

By running this command with the appropriate filename, the Bicep compiler will read the Bicep template file, validate its syntax, and generate an ARM Template JSON file that can be deployed to Azure using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) or other deployment processes.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
