Guidance for securing Infrastructure-as-Code (Bicep, ARM, Terraform, and ACI/Container) pipelines on Azure — shift-left scanning, policy-as-code, secret hygiene, identity for pipelines, drift detection, and supply chain. Covers Microsoft Defender for Cloud DevOps Security (GitHub / Azure DevOps connectors), Microsoft Security DevOps (MSDO) extension, Bicep linter and template specs, Terraform best practices on Azure (state management, backend hardening, provider versions), Azure Policy as deploy-time and CI-time gate, GitOps with Flux/ArgoCD on AKS, secret scanning and dependency review, signed commits / artifact signing, OIDC federation for pipeline identity (no client secrets), and integration with Defender for Cloud posture. WHEN: IaC security, Bicep security, Terraform Azure security, Defender for Cloud DevOps Security, MSDO, Microsoft Security DevOps, shift-left Azure, policy as code, OIDC GitHub Actions Azure, secrets in IaC, drift detection, signed Bicep, supply chain Azure. DO NOT USE for Kubernetes admission control alone (use defender-for-containers), generic CI/CD design, or app-layer security.
