bicepparam files

[pattisanta]

Hi,
I have been experimenting with bicepparam files. I have one question. Is there away to use more the one bicep file in the bicepparam file? I have multiple file in our private registry that I would use.

Thanks

No that is not possible, but if I understand your question correctly you want to share values from Bicepparam files across Bicep files and avoid duplicates? If yes, you can do it the other way around.

If you have Bicep files which have parameters with the same parameter name you can make use of extendable parameters. You still need multiple parameters files for this though, but you can share value (or extend) from a base Bicepparam and avoid duplicates. This document might help you understand what it does: https://github.com/Azure/bicep/blob/main/docs/experimental/extendable-param-files.md

@johnlokerse Thanks for responding. I don't want to share parameters. I wanted to be able to deploy storage account key vault etc.. in the same bicepparam file. but I will look into the extendable parameters that seems to be interesting and possible fit into other use
cases.

A Bicepparam file has a one-to-one relationship with a Bicep template, but a Bicep template can have multiple parameters file associated to it.

If you want to deploy multiple resources within a Bicep template, you can add parameters for each resource to the Bicep template, and the values in the Bicepparam file:

Bicepparam:

using 'template.bicep'

param parKeyVaultName = 'my-keyvault-name'
param parStorageName = 'my-storage-account-name'

Bicep template:

param parKeyVaultName string
param parStorageName string

module modKeyVault 'br/public:avm/res/key-vault/vault:0.12.1' = {
  params: {
    name: parKeyVaultName
  }
}

module modStorageAccount 'br/public:avm/res/storage/storage-account:0.19.0' = {
  params: {
    name: parStorageName
  }
}

Do you have a high-level example what you are trying to achieve?

@johnlokerse We currently use the bicep template this is one example.
module managedIdentityQA 'managedIdentity.bicep' = {
name: ''
params: {
}
}

module storageAccountQA 'storage.bicep' = {
name: ''
params: {
}
}

module functionAppQA 'functionApp.bicep' = {
name: ''
params: {

}

}

module staticWebAppQA 'staticWebapp.bicep' = {
name: ''
params: {

}

}

module keyVaultQA 'keyVault.bicep' = {
name: ''
params: {
}
}

module databaseQA 'database.bicep' = {
name: ''
params: {
}
}

I was hoping I could do the something like this in the bicepparam file.

thanks again.
