Bicep CLI 0.48.1

Bicep CLI is a command-line tool that provides a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for deploying Azure resources declaratively. It is designed for developers and cloud engineers who want to simplify the authoring experience of infrastructure-as-code. By offering a cleaner syntax and improved type safety, Bicep makes it easier to manage complex Azure environments.
