How does IPM help with GitHub Copilot integration?

When you use IPM to manage AVM modules, your AI tools like GitHub Copilot have complete context of module structure and parameters since all code is stored locally in your Git repository. This enables intelligent code suggestions and automation, dramatically accelerating infrastructure development.

Stop struggling with complex Azure deployments

Infrastructure engineers waste countless hours maintaining inconsistent modules, dealing with external dependencies, and manually updating code. It shouldn't be this hard.

With IPM, you gain direct access to every Azure Verified Module (AVM) for Bicep—directly in your own Git repository. No external dependencies. No complicated setups. Just gold-standard infrastructure modules ready for deployment.

Infrastructure Complexity is Costing You

Time Wasted

Engineers spend 40% of their time managing module dependencies instead of building valuable solutions

Inconsistent Deployments

Different teams using different module versions leads to unpredictable behavior and security risks

External Dependencies

External module references create deployment failures when registry connections fail

YOUR TRUSTED GUIDE

We Understand Your Infrastructure Challenges

For years, we've watched infrastructure teams struggle with the same problems. That's why we created IPM—to give you back control of your infrastructure code.

Drawing on our 10+ years of Azure and Infrastructure as Code expertise, we've created a solution that combines our knowledge with Microsoft's Azure Verified Modules to make them accessible without the typical complexity.

What Are Azure Verified Modules?

Azure Verified Modules (AVM) define the gold standard for quality Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). Developed by Microsoft and trusted partners, AVM ensures consistent, best-practice configurations ideal for cloud-native and migrated applications. Supporting languages like Bicep and Terraform, AVM enables developers to build reliable solutions with Microsoft's official guidance, community-driven input, and a unified code base.

Why use IPM for AVM modules?

Boost productivity with IPM: an intuitive, fast code distribution solution designed for seamless integration. Instantly search, download, and deploy your AVM Bicep modules, getting projects up and running in seconds. Focus on your key tasks while IPM takes care of your code distribution needs.

AVOID THE PITFALLS

Don't Risk Your Azure Deployments

See how IPM helps you avoid common infrastructure management failures

Challenge	Without IPM	With IPM
External Dependencies	Deployment failures when registry connections break	All code stored locally in your Git repo
Version Control	Manual tracking of module versions	Automatic version management
AI Integration	AI tools lack context of external modules	GitHub Copilot has full context of modules
Module Updates	Manual process prone to errors	One command updates all modules
Documentation	External websites, often outdated	Built-in docs synchronized with code

Hear from engineers who've transformed their Azure infrastructure management

Dennon O.

Cloud engineer

"IPMHub makes it much easier for me to deploy landing zones and packages. This gives me more time for what really matters, drinking coffee."

Managed Service Provider

Rex de Koning

DevOps Engineer

"IPM saved me hours per project providing bicep modules like AVM from central together with our inhouse modules. Also because of the way it operates it provides Life Cycle Management out of the box, and it helps to get our IaC codebases but also our Powershell module projects in a consistent form across all projects and platforms."

Microsoft Azure MVP

Bob van D

Tech Lead

"We underestimated the time savings achieved through IPM integration with AVM modules. Each successive project demonstrates incremental efficiency improvement with the option to reuse complete projects in a single command."

AVM

Azure Verified Modules (AVM) are Microsoft-certified, high-quality Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) templates designed to simplify and standardize deployments. AVM modules offer best-practice configurations, available in languages like Bicep and Terraform, to streamline cloud-native and migrated application setups.

Yes, we ensure AVM packages are always current by checking for updates every 24 hours. When a new AVM version is available, we promptly release an updated package.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a method of automating infrastructure setup and management using code, allowing consistent, reliable, and repeatable deployments across environments. AVM supports IaC best practices for secure, scalable cloud infrastructure.

IPM

IPM, or Infrastructure Package Manager, is our tool for managing IaC packages through ipmhub.io. With IPM, you can easily download, publish, and manage Infrastructure as Code packages. For detailed guidance, visit our documentation at https://docs.ipmhub.io/docs.

The IPM client is available for download for multiple operation systems. Follow the steps at https://docs.ipmhub.io/docs/installation/.

Yes, an account is required to download AVM packages. It only takes 30 seconds to sign up. Visit https://ipmhub.io/login to create one.

Yes, using IPM is free, and AVM packages are provided under the MIT license.

About This Project

IPM gives you full control over AVM package source code directly within your own repository, enabling you to access documentation and leverage IPM's features like versioning, status updates, and Tracked Workspaces.

We've made minor, non-breaking modifications to the AVM packages to enhance functionality. These changes include:

Within the Module itself:
- Appending original AVM Module version metadata
- Appending original AVM Module published date metadata
- Disabling telemetry by default
Adding a DISCLAIMER.md
Adding a LICENSE.txt (geen .md)

If you believe the bug originates from the AVM package itself, please report it to the AVM team. If it's an IPM client issue, report it on our GitHub discussion page.

To customize an AVM module for community or internal use, follow these steps:

Create a new IPM package.
Download the original AVM package.
Apply your changes.
Publish the updated version.
