Azure Bicep Loops makes it easy to create multiple Azure resources. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Azure Bicep Loops to create four storage accounts.
Loops (Count)
Azure Bicep offers a few types of loops, and today we will focus on a loop based on a count. In practice, we tell Bicep how many resources to create from the same type, and it will create them.
We use a for loop with a range function to create a count loop, as shown below.
[for i in range(1,4):]Template
The template below creates four storage accounts with random names.
param location string = resourceGroup().location
param utc string = utcNow()
var storageaccountname = 'ntweekly${uniqueString(utc)}'
resource storageAccount 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2019-06-01' = [for i in range(1,4): {
name: '${storageaccountname}${i}'
location: location
sku: {
name: 'Standard_LRS'
}
kind: 'StorageV2'
properties: {
accessTier: 'Hot'
}
}]
The result is shown below.
