Last month Microsoft released its newest Bicep version v0.32.4 which includes an interesting function called deployer(). This function can retrieve the ObjectId and TenantId of the deploying Service principal. This can be very helpful in certain cases such as assigning tags to Azure resources or to assign a role to the deploying Service principal.

In my experience you have strong Infrastructure as Code (IaC) setup when you combine both Bicep with Azure Pipelines for deploying resources to Azure. Let’s have a look what we can do with the new deployer() function.
