Source control your Azure Bicep files

The blog post by Sarah Lean discusses the integration of Azure Bicep files with GitHub and Octopus Deploy for automating infrastructure deployments using source control and GitHub Actions. It highlights the benefits of using source control for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), such as providing a single source of truth, enabling collaboration, and tracking changes. The process involves storing Bicep files in GitHub, using GitHub Actions to automate their transfer to an Octopus Deploy instance, and setting up a GitHub Actions workflow to zip the files and push them to Octopus. The workflow relies on creating secrets for connection details to Octopus, and the steps include checking out code, installing the Octopus CLI, and executing commands to pack and push the Bicep files. The article concludes by emphasizing the streamlined deployment process and encourages feedback from readers.
