Can we deploy Bicep through Sentinel repo
Hi there,
Im new here, but 😅....
With the problem statement being "Deploying and managing sentinel infrastructure through git repository. I had looked into Sentinel Repository feature which is still in Preview.
With added limitations of not being able to deploy watchlists or custom log analytical functions ( custom parsers ).
There is also a limitation of deploying only ARM content
My guess would be that the product folks at msft are working on this 😋
My hypothesized (just started the rnd, as of writing this) options would be to
- Fully go above and beyond with Bicep; Create bicep deployment files for both the rules as well as their dependencies like LAW functions, watchlists and the whole nine yards. Need to write pipelines for the deployment. The CI/CD would also need extra work to implement
- Hit that sweet spot; Deploy the currently supported resources using sentinel repo and write a pipeline to deploy the watchlists using Bicep. But not sure if this will be relevant to solutions to clients. When the whole shtick is that we are updating now so we dont have to later.
- Go back to the dark ages: Stick to the currently supported sentinel content through ARM & repo. And deploy the watchlists and dependencies using GUI 🙃
I will soon confirm the first two methods, but may take some time. As you know, I may or may not be new to sentinel...or devops..
But wanted to kick off the conversation, to see how close to being utterly wrong I am. 😎
Thanks,
