An administrator decompiles an ARM template to Bicep and assumes the conversion is guaranteed to produce a one-to-one mapping with no manual fixes ever required. Is this assumption correct?
- AYes
- BNo Correct
Decompile is best-effort with no guaranteed JSON-to-Bicep mapping, so manual fixes can be required. The docs caution that decompilation attempts to convert the file but there is no guaranteed mapping from JSON ARM templates to Bicep, and you might need to fix warnings and errors in the generated Bicep file. Decompilation can even fail if an accurate conversion is not possible.
Why A is wrong: Treating decompile as a guaranteed lossless mapping is wrong; the documentation explicitly states there is no guaranteed mapping and that manual fixes for warnings and errors may be needed.
Why B is correct: Correct. The docs caution that decompilation attempts to convert the file but there is no guaranteed mapping from JSON ARM templates to Bicep, and you might need to fix warnings and errors in the generated Bicep file.
