John has become my favorite Azure teacher during my certification process - and I am still learning so much more every time I come back. Keep it up John!

[TalkChou]

You're my GO TO when I need to learn and refresh my knowledge of anything related to Azure! Thanks for this one!

[nzalex]

Best bicep intro I've seen, thanks!

[Blamzilla]

Bicep, Terraform and IaC in general is uncharted territory for me. I was worried that this would be another cloud related topic I'd have to struggle to figure out. This video has really broken down how simple Bicep is. I feel confident that I'll be able to integrate it into my next projects. Thank you for this tutorial, John!

[ToivoVoll]

All of these videos are such a great help, and explains things so well at the right level of complexity, thank you for making them.

You quoted Picard. You are now officially my hero. Seriously though, this is excellent stuff, Mr. Savill. Subscribed.

Great stuff as always John - thorough, candid and pragmatic - thank you very much!

[jakeindalecio]

Fantastic dive into BICEP. Thanks John!

[dips]

That was an amazing intro to Bicep.
Do you think Mircrosoft came up with the name because these are an advancement over 'Arm' templates? 🤔

[ZailaniAsralSG]

Thank you John for sharing all your Azure knowledge!

[paulwilliams]

Great as always, John. The GIT hub tutorial does not seem to exist any longer, it is on another URL. Presumably we side-step and use MS Learn instead which looks pretty good.

Excellent breakdown of Bicep, John. I have never been a fan of JSON, so this is a welcome alternative that I’ll definitely be using in the future.

Great video, really shows the power available in an easy to watch video. I have seen a few videos on terraform and this fill me with joy on how maintainable it is, Also appreciate the intro flex.
