The new parameter files use bicep style formatting instead of JSON, and they will make the lives of Cloud Engineers a lot easier. They have the following advantages:

  • More readable and editor friendly
  • Cleaner and less lines of code
  • VSCode integration
  • Quickly convert from JSON or template file using VSCode

In this video I introduce these new files. I go over the new formatting, and I also introduce the new features in VSCode for the .bicepparam files.

Yes, you read that right, you’ll be seeing a hardcore vim user switch to VSCode for this particular task!
