Introduction

Once you've created the Bicep parameter file in the previous step, you are ready to deploy the necessary Azure resources for ILAP Analytics, such as applications and databases.

1. Deployment Overview

You will deploy the resources using the Azure CLI. Ensure you have the following:

• The Bicep parameter file you created earlier.

• Access to the Azure.IaC folder (contact your administrator if you don’t have this folder).

• Azure CLI installed and configured on your machine.

2. Steps to Deploy Resources

Step 1: Open PowerShell and Navigate to the Folder

1. Open PowerShell on your computer.

2. Navigate to the Azure.IaC folder:
   

   d path\to\Azure.IaC

   (Contact your administrator if you need access to this folder.)

Step 2: Log in to Azure

1. Run the following command to log in:

   az login

2. Select your Azure Entra ID (Active Directory) user account from the prompt.

Step 3: Deploy Resources

1. Run the following command to deploy your resources:
   

   az deployment group create --name IlapAnalyticsDeployment --resource-group 'your-resource-group-name' --template-file main.bicep --parameters your_param_file_name.bicepparam

   • Replace 'your-resource-group-name' with the name of your Azure resource group.

   • Replace your_param_file_name.bicepparam with the name of your Bicep parameter file.

2. The command will start deploying the resources defined in the main.bicep template and configured in your parameter file.

Tips for a Successful Deployment

• Ensure your Azure CLI is updated to the latest version. You can check by running:
  

  az --version

• Verify the resource group exists in your Azure subscription before deploying.

• Check the main.bicep file and parameter file for typos or missing values.

What Happens After Deployment

• The deployment process will create the necessary Azure resources, including App Services, SQL Databases, and any additional resources defined in the Bicep file.

• You can monitor the deployment progress directly in the Azure Portal under Resource Groups > Deployments.
