Add Bicep IaC option alongside Terraform for azd deployments

[Copilot]

Adds Bicep templates as an alternative Infrastructure as Code option for Azure deployments with azd CLI, maintaining parity with existing Terraform infrastructure.

New Bicep Templates (infra/bicep/)

• main.bicep - Subscription-scoped orchestration template
• modules/container-registry.bicep - ACR with admin auth
• modules/log-analytics.bicep - Log Analytics workspace
• modules/container-apps-environment.bicep - Container Apps Environment
• modules/container-app.bicep - Reusable container app module

Configuration

• azure.bicep.yaml - Alternative azd config using Bicep provider

Usage

# Switch to Bicep
cp azure.bicep.yaml azure.yaml
azd up

# Revert to Terraform
git checkout azure.yaml

Infrastructure Deployed

Both providers deploy identical resources:

• Resource Group, ACR (Basic), Log Analytics (30-day retention)
• Container Apps Environment
• Backend (0.5 vCPU, 1GB) and Frontend (0.25 vCPU, 0.5GB) Container Apps

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• aka.ms
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/bicep bicep build main.bicep (dns block)
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/bicep bicep build main.bicep --stdout (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

I want to add bicep IaC option to use with azd cli, while preserving terraform as well. Please add bicep templates that mirror the terraform scripts to build and deploy both backend and frontend.
