When Azure Marketplace will support Bicep or Terraform?

The Azure Marketplace appears to struggle with integration across Microsoft's broader technology ecosystem.

Its omission of support for key infrastructure-as-code tools like Bicep and Terraform hampers widespread adoption and dampens developer interest in building applications for the platform.

Beyond this particular concern, my experience with the Marketplace has revealed a certain fragility and a user experience that leaves room for improvement.

I'm interested in learning about the experiences of others with the Azure Marketplace. What are your thoughts and insights on this matter?

You can use from Azure Devops marketplace:

  • Run Terraform

  • Terraform cli

  • Terraform installer and tool installer

I think you didn't get my use case. In marketplace, we have to publish an app and to Go Live we need to submit the templates too. So that after the app is published anyone can install it in their subscription. I am not quite sure how you could submit terraform templates when it doesn't support in the first place.

The use of Bicep is kind of already possible on the marketplace because you can convert Bicep to ARM - and vice versa -.

I know that's possible, but it won't be optimal if you have a multiple modular or nested json. This is just a hackish way. I am looking for a native support.
