Less is more! The OnlyIfNotExists() decorator instructs the resource to be created only if it does not exist. When the resource ID is found, ARM skips creation. It's that simple! Check out Episode 16 of the #Bicep on the Go series 📽️youtube.com/watch?v=aWOjSA… @BicepLang #MVPBuzz

Using validate() decorator for custom parameter validation, allowing the configuration of custom constraints that go beyond the out-of-the-box decorators. Learn about it in Episode 15 of the #Bicep on the Go series! 📽️💪 youtube.com/watch?v=YGKteQ… #MVPBuzz @BicepLang

Keeping the streak going! Episode 12 of #Bicep on the Go 📽️covers the deployer() function, which returns information about the principal that initiated the current deployment.💪 youtube.com/watch?v=ZQCB3L… #MVPBuzz @BicepLang

@Alan_Florance @virtuEs_IT @wpninjasummit Correct. No recordings unfortunately.

@fberson @virtuEs_IT @wpninjasummit Am guessing it's wishful thinking to assume this will be recorded?

Curiosity, limited documentation, & Bicep version 0.1 What followed was a journey! Add the session @virtuEs_IT and I will present at WorkPlace Ninja Summit 2025 for an entertaining session with lessons learned, and just a touch of self-deprecating humor! @wpninjasummit #WPNinjaS

Secure your spot (and walk away with a one-of-a-kind giveaway you’ll actually want to show off) 😉 wpninjas25.sched.com/event/27VFZ/fr… #WPNinjaS #AVD #Bicep @wpninjasummit

@Alan_Florance @MVPAward Thank you! No its been there for quite some time actually.

@fberson @MVPAward Congratulations, well deserved, didnt know there was an Azure Infrastructure as Code category is it new?

🔥Received the Microsoft MVP Award for the 15th consecutive year! And...for the 4th time in two technology areas at once! Both Azure Virtual Desktop and Azure Infrastructure as Code. Excited & honored! 🍀💪 #MVPBuzz @MVPAward #AVD #Bicep #Azure

From the Stage at @Microsoft Build 2025: My Story & What’s Coming Next. Sharing my experience, tips on delivering engaging sessions, and photo bombing crew members! 💪 😃 linkedin.com/pulse/from-sta… @events_msft @BicepLang #MVPBuzz #MSBuild #Biceplang

Microsoft Build is a wrap for me. I had an amazing time presenting a session on Bicep 💪, running a shift in the booth answering questions on Infra as Code! Thank you all! 🎥build.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions… @events_msft @BicepLang #MVPBuzz #Bicep
