For what I can recall I have used them for naming resources, and manipulating configuration stored in a json file.
Also it’s a way to declare “global” variables without putting them in a module or passing them as parameter in every module.

Terraform vs Bicep: the differences you should really know What really matters if you work with Azure and need to choose between Terraform and Bicep

Terraform is a safe bet but Bicep is evolving very nicely.
Let me share a blog post like my friend @techwatching.bsky.social just did: blog.xmi.fr/posts/terraf...

Snippet of the following Bicep code:
// This will return the tenant id of the subscription
// where the managed application is being deployed
var customerTenantId = subscription().tenantId

// This will return the tenant id from where the 
// managed application was published
var publisherTenantId = tenant().tenantId

Snippet of the following Bicep code: // This will return the tenant id of the subscription // where the managed application is being deployed var customerTenantId = subscription().tenantId // This will return the tenant id from where the // managed application was published var publisherTenantId = tenant().tenantId

Quick #azure #bicep tip I have learnt when working on an Marketplace Managed Application: it turns out that tenant().tenantId and subscription().tenantId doesn't return the same value when working in a cross-tenant situation 🤓
