Bicep CLI

Bicep CLI is a free utility for working with Bicep files. Bicep is a domain-specific language used to describe Azure resource deployments in a declarative form. The command-line tool compiles those Bicep files into Azure Resource Manager templates. This gives users a way to convert Bicep source into the ARM template format used for Azure deployments.

The tool is intended for people who create or maintain Azure infrastructure definitions. Its main function is the compilation of Bicep files, rather than providing a general-purpose development environment. The resulting ARM templates represent the compiled form of the deployment description. Bicep is created and owned by Microsoft Azure, and the CLI is associated with that language.

MirrorNest lists Bicep CLI in the Utilities category for Windows. The source material also describes Bicep as cross-platform, while this catalog entry identifies Windows as its platform. The software is available under a free license. MirrorNest links directly to the official release instead of hosting or mirroring the software itself.
