Bicep Authoring Devcontainer

This is a simple devcontainer which can be used with CodeSpaces or VSCode Remote to get all the tooling needed to start authoring bicep.

Quick Start: VSCode Remote

1. Clone the repository.
2. Configuration for the development environment by installing VSCode and the Devcontainers extension. Quick start docs here.
3. Open the folder in VSCode devcontain1. CTRL+SHIFT+P then type Reopen in container to open the devcontainer in VSCode.
4. Open a terminal in VSCode with CTRL+SHIFT+P -> Terminal: Create new integrated terminal. We'll use this to run Bicep commands.
5. Run az login from the VSCode terminal to connect to your Azure account.
6. Run bicep build main.bicep this will generate main.json which is the ARM template ready to be deployed.
7. Run the following to create a resource group and deploy the template to it.

	az group create -n my-rg -l eastus
	az deployment group create -f ./main.json -g my-rg

Next Steps

Review the docs here to build out more advanced scenarios.
