If you're getting started with an implementation using Infrastructure as Code, one of the first things to figure out is which tool to use. When working with an Azure data platform solution, the most common options that come up are Bicep and Terraform; therefore, this session will dive into the details of the differences of Bicep and Terraform to help you choose the best option.

We will begin the session by going through the similarities of Bicep and Terraform, but will then jump straight into comparing these two tools. We will cover how state is handled, how configuration is scoped and how making changes is evaluated. Then we will go through how existing resources are handled and using preview features. At the end of this session you will be able to choose which tool is the best option for your implementation!
