Summary

Adds a guest article showing how to combine PSRule for Azure with PSQuickGraph to validate relationships that span multiple Bicep resources.

The article covers:

  • collecting Azure resource relationships with a PSRule convention;
  • validating VNet integration and private endpoint paths after all resources are processed;
  • exporting the resulting graph as Graphviz DOT and rendering it as SVG;
  • a link to a complete Bicep and PSRule demonstration repository.

An SVG example of the resource graph is included with the article.

Why

Normal per-resource assertions are not sufficient for architecture requirements that depend on relationships between several expanded ARM resources. Modeling those references as a graph makes path-based validation possible in CI and produces a useful troubleshooting artifact.

Validation

  • Built the complete Hugo site with npm run build.
  • Parsed all six PowerShell code blocks without syntax errors.
  • Tested directed integration and private endpoint paths with PSQuickGraph 2.5.0.
  • Tested Graphviz DOT export and SVG rendering.
  • Confirmed every external link in the article returns HTTP 200.
  • Ran git diff --check.
