Azure CLI bicep extenstion not present in ubuntu-24.04 #11987
Description
Description
In our organization we are using ubuntu-latest and as of this week this is ubuntu-24-04
We debloy bicep templates to Azure Cloud using Azure CLI. In ubuntu-22.04 had bicep extension installed on the image and there was no need to build an ARM-template to use that.
We use:
az deployment group create --resource-group '$(resourceGroup)' --name '$(Build.BuildNumber)' --no-prompt --template-file 'main.bicep' --parameters '$(paramFilePath)'
Which has worked fine, but with ubuntu-24.04 we get following error:
I am unaware if this is intentional but it was functionality available before
Thanks in advance

Image version and build link
Is it regression?
Yes, this worked in earlier versions
Expected behavior
Expected behavior is that using bicep templates to deploy infrastructure to Azure Cloud using Azure CLI works as intended, meaning that bicep extension handles the trasplaining of bicep to ARM json format.
Actual behavior
Error as depicted in the screenshot in the description
Repro steps
- Start a pipeline run for a pipeline using Azure CLI to deploy bicep template to Azure Cloud
