In my previous posts I wrote about creating infrastructure for Azure WebJob using PowerShell or Terraform. Most recent approach for creating Azure resources is Azure Bicep. Bicep is a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for deploying Azure resources declaratively. Bicep code is transpiled to standard ARM Template. Bicep file for creating infrastructure for Azure WebJob is:

var baseName = resourceGroup().name
var baseNameLower = toLower(baseName)

resource appServicePlan 'Microsoft.Web/serverfarms@2018-02-01' = {
  name: baseName
  location: resourceGroup().location
  sku: {
    name: 'B1'
    capacity: 1
  }
}

resource appService 'Microsoft.Web/sites@2018-11-01' = {
  name: baseNameLower
  location: resourceGroup().location
  properties: {
    serverFarmId: appServicePlan.id
    clientAffinityEnabled: false
  }
}

resource config 'Microsoft.Web/sites/config@2018-11-01' = {
  parent: appService
  name: 'web'
  properties: {
    use32BitWorkerProcess: false
    alwaysOn: true
  }
}

resource appSettings 'Microsoft.Web/sites/config@2018-11-01' = {
  parent: appService
  name: 'appsettings'
  properties: {
    APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY: appInsights.properties.InstrumentationKey
  }
}

resource connectionStrings 'Microsoft.Web/sites/config@2018-11-01' = {
  parent: appService
  name: 'connectionstrings'
  properties: {
    AzureWebJobsDashboard: {
      value: 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=${baseNameLower};AccountKey=${listKeys(storageAccounts.id, '2019-06-01').keys[0].value};EndpointSuffix=${environment().suffixes.storage}'
      type: 'Custom'
    }
    AzureWebJobsStorage: {
      value: 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=${baseNameLower};AccountKey=${listKeys(storageAccounts.id, '2019-06-01').keys[0].value};EndpointSuffix=${environment().suffixes.storage}'
      type: 'Custom'
    }
  }
}

resource storageAccounts 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2019-06-01' = {
  name: baseNameLower
  location: resourceGroup().location
  kind: 'StorageV2'
  sku: {
    name: 'Standard_LRS'
    tier: 'Standard'
  }
}

resource appInsights 'Microsoft.Insights/components@2015-05-01' = {
  name: baseName
  location: resourceGroup().location
  kind: 'web'
  properties: {
    Application_Type: 'web'
  }
} 

Resource group is then deployed using standart Azure CLI commands like using ARM template:

az group create --name WebJobTest --location westeurope
az deployment group create --resource-group WebJobTest --template-file azuredeploy.bicep --verbose
