Azure Deployment Scripts - Real World Use Cases

Did you know you can run PowerShell and AzureCLI commands and scripts in the middle of your ARM Template or Bicep deployments? The scripts run in an Azure container, and can allow you to make your IaC deployments more versatile.
In this video, I show you two real world examples where this has come in handy for me, and some patterns around using secrets and managed identities.
This video is also a submission for a session for the Azure Back to School event, which is an annual community event bringing together lots of great speakers and content, covering a wide range of Azure technologies. Make sure to check out the sessions at the link below!
