4.0.0

Compatibility

Please note the this release is not backwards compatible with earlier versions of bootstrap and starter modules.

Minimum versions are:

• Bootstrap: > v4.0.0
• Bicep Starter: > v0.19.4
• Terraform Starter: > v3.0.0

What's Changed

We have removed UI support from the Accelerator. The input configuration file is now required to supply inputs. This is a breaking change, hence the major version bump.

We have also added new features and updated the docs accordingly:

• All inputs can now be supplied via environment variables.
• All PowerShell parameters can now be supplied via environment variable or the input configuration file.
• The local option for Bicep now outputs a PowerShell script that can be immediately run to deploy the ALZ. The script can also be used in third-party VCS.
• The local option now grants the relevant IAM rights to the account running the deployment by default, so the ALZ can be deployed immediately with no intervention required.
• Code and configuration has been significantly simplified enabling us to move faster with updates and new features moving forward.

Environment variables can be used for sensitive inputs to prevent them being persisted to file. For example VCS PAT.

Deprecations

• The legacy Bicep mode has been removed.
• The UI prompts for input if a config file is not supplied have been removed.
