Bicep

As explained in Building Distributed Applications that Work

Bicep is a declarative domain-specific language for deploying Azure resources through infrastructure-as-code templates.

Bicep is an infrastructure-as-code format used by AZD CLI to describe Azure deployments. Generated files can be edited to scope deployment at the resource-group level instead of the subscription level. section 9.3.3

targetScope = 'resourceGroup'

Set the deployment target to a resource group when limiting deployment scope. section 9.3.3

How Building Distributed Applications that Work covers it

How deep it goes
Demonstrates generated-file edits for resource-group scope but does not detail Bicep syntax beyond deployment configuration.
Examples
Uses azd infra gen, main.bicep, and resources.bicep to demonstrate generated files and resource-group scoping.
What you can do after
Operate/configure generated Bicep files by changing deployment scope from subscription to resource group.
How it connects
Connects Bicep with Aspire deployment, AZD CLI, Azure subscription and resource-group scopes, and Terraform as an alternative IaC format.
