feat: Standardize Bicep Parameters for Code Modernization

[VishalS-Microsoft]

Purpose

This pull request introduces several enhancements and updates across multiple areas, including development environment configuration, test automation, documentation, and infrastructure deployment. The most significant changes involve adding new Azure CLI features to the dev container, creating a new GitHub Actions workflow for test automation, and updating infrastructure templates to include Application Insights integration.

Development Environment Enhancements:

• Added the Azure CLI feature with Bicep support to the dev container configuration (.devcontainer/devcontainer.json). This includes setting the installBicep option to true and specifying the latest versions for Azure CLI and Bicep.
• Updated the VS Code extensions list to include ms-azuretools.vscode-azcli for enhanced Azure CLI support.

Test Automation Workflow:

• Introduced a new GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/test-automation.yml) to automate end-to-end testing. The workflow includes:
  • Scheduled and triggered runs for specific branches and paths.
  • Steps for setting up Python, logging into Azure CLI, starting/stopping container apps, running Playwright tests with retries, and uploading test reports.
  • A notification mechanism to send success or failure emails using a Logic App.

Infrastructure Updates:

• Modified the Bicep templates (infra/deploy_ai_foundry.bicep, infra/main.bicep) to add Application Insights as a resource for enhanced monitoring. The connection string is exposed as an output for integration with other components. [1] [2]
• Updated parameter handling in infra/main.bicepparam to include new parameters like deploymentType, llmModel, and imageVersion, with default values fetched from environment variables.

Documentation Updates:

• Reorganized and expanded the documentation for customizing Azure Dev CLI (azd) parameters, providing a detailed table of parameters and their purposes (docs/CustomizingAzdParameters.md).
• Corrected typos and updated parameter examples in the customization guide (docs/EXAMPLE-CustomizingAzdParameters.md). [1] [2]

Miscellaneous:

• Updated the JSON ARM template (infra/main.json) to reflect changes in the Bicep templates, including Application Insights integration and parameter adjustments. [1] [2]
