Linter rule code

Use the following value in the Bicep configuration file to customize rule settings:

use-recent-api-versions

The rule includes a configuration property named maxAllowedAgeInDays, with a default value of 730 days (equivalent to two years). A value of 0 indicates that the API version must be the latest version available not in preview or the latest preview version if only previews are available.

Solution

Use the most recent API version or one that isn't older than 730 days.

Use Quick Fix to use the latest API version:
