This session dives into integrating private Terraform / Opentofu Registry modules with automated versioning to streamline Azure deployments, with Azure DevOps as the CI/CD backbone. We'll cover the essentials of creating and managing Terraform modules in a private registry, ensuring secure and efficient module management in Azure environments. Attendees will gain insights into various private registry options, including a deep dive into Terrareg. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped to provide your teams with semantically versioned Terraform modules, accessible through integrated Terraform authentication and supported by a comprehensive, user-friendly dashboard! All this will be hosted in Azure Container Apps!

In this session, we’ll delve into a practical comparison of Terraform and Bicep, the two leading Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools for Azure. We’ll explore their support for resources both within and beyond the Microsoft ecosystem, covering Azure-specific services, Microsoft 365, and external integrations. Attendees will learn about the different options for publishing, such as private registries, Azure Container Registry, and template specs, and how each tool handles parameter files, with a look at Bicep’s bicepparam vs. Terraform’s tfvars. We'll also highlight key syntax and structural differences, deployment practices, and community support. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear understanding of which tool best aligns with your Azure IaC needs and project goals.
