User-Defined Resource Types

[AaronCrawfis]

Overview of feature request

Today, there are a fixed set of portable Radius resources:

• Applications.Dapr/stateStores
• Applications.Dapr/pubSubBrokers
• Applications.Datastores/redisCaches
• Applications.Datastores/sqlDatabases
• ...

These resources have a fixed schema and it allows teams to only select from a pre-defined list.

What's missing is a way for a team at an organization like Contoso to model their own schema and abstractions to work with.

For example, Contoso may want a resource type like:

resource storage 'Contoso.Storage/database' = {
  name: 'inventory'
  properties: {...}
}

This would allow developers to select from resource types that are custom to Contoso. This also doesn't have to be limited to storage/messaging resources. Custom types could also encapsulate entire services or dependencies such as:

resource storage 'Contoso.Monitoring/diagnostics' = {
  name: 'inventory'
  properties: {...}
}

Acceptance criteria

• Users can define their own types + schema
• These resources can be modeled in Bicep, acting as a key/value store for the properties
• Recipes should work with the resources, allowing IT operators to define Recipe templates that spin up the actual backing infrastructure.
