Publish and Consume Bicep Modules with Azure Container Registry

As organizations scale their Azure infrastructure, reusable and versioned infrastructure-as-code modules become essential for consistency, governance, and team collaboration. Azure Container Registry can serve as a private Bicep module registry, enabling teams to publish, version, and consume shared Bicep modules across projects and deployments.

In this hands-on lab, you will set up an Azure Container Registry as a private Bicep module registry and walk through a complete publish-and-consume workflow that mirrors real-world enterprise practices.

Objectives

By completing this advanced lab, you will be able to:

• Create and configure an Azure Container Registry as a private Bicep module registry
• Author reusable Bicep modules for common Azure resources such as virtual networks and storage accounts
• Publish Bicep modules to the registry using az bicep publish with semantic versioning tags
• Configure bicepconfig.json with module aliases to simplify registry references
• Consume published registry modules in a main Bicep template using br: references

Who is this lab for?

This lab is designed for:

• Cloud engineers and DevOps practitioners who want to implement a centralized, versioned module registry for sharing Bicep infrastructure code across teams
• Infrastructure-as-code developers looking to move beyond local module references to a scalable, registry-based approach for managing reusable Bicep templates
