+# ARM Templates & Bicep
+
+Deploy Azure infrastructure with ARM templates and Bicep.
+
+## Bicep Example
+
+```bicep
+param location string = resourceGroup().location
+param vmName string
+
+resource vm 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines@2023-03-01' = {
+  name: vmName
+  location: location
+  properties: {
+    hardwareProfile: {
+      vmSize: 'Standard_B2s'
+    }
+    osProfile: {
+      computerName: vmName
+      adminUsername: 'azureuser'
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+output vmId string = vm.id
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Deploy Bicep
+az deployment group create \
+  --resource-group mygroup \
+  --template-file main.bicep \
+  --parameters vmName=myvm
+
+# Deploy ARM
+az deployment group create \
+  --resource-group mygroup \
+  --template-file template.json \
+  --parameters @parameters.json
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Use Bicep over JSON ARM
+- Implement modules for reusability
+- Use parameter files per environment
+- Validate before deployment
