Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling to deploy cloud infrastructure is a game-changer, but there are times when even the best tooling falls short. That's where PowerShell can help! It's like a superpower that helps you integrate external systems, execute complex deployment processes, and handle data plane level actions that IaC alone can't accomplish.

If you're working with Microsoft Azure, deployment scripts are your secret weapon for achieving things that can't be done with ARM or Bicep templates alone. And in this session, we're diving in! We'll get hands-on with Bicep, Azure, and PowerShell to explore some real-world use cases for PowerShell deployment scripts in Azure, integrated with Azure Bicep IaC templates.

My mission is simple: to help you take your IaC templates and infrastructure deployment pipelines to the next level. By leveraging PowerShell for tasks that are difficult or impossible to handle natively with IaC tooling, you'll make your deployment processes more efficient and your life easier!
