+## HOW TO DEPLOY TO AZURE USING BICEP SCRIPTS AND COMMAND LINES
+
+### STEP 0: PREREQUISITES
+Ignore pre-requisites if already done as part of the project setup instruction in the parent README.md
+[Install Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli)
+
+Add the ML extension:
+```
+az extension add --name ml
+```
+
+Configure the CLI:
+
+```
+az login
+az account set --subscription "<your subscription name>"
+az configure --defaults workspace=<aml workspace> group=<resource group> location=<location, e.g. westus3>
+```
+
+Execute the following commands on your terminal(mac)
+
+#### STEP 1: SET THE REQUIRED VARIABLES
+```
+current_date=$(date +%m-%d-%Y)
+```
+
+#### STEP 2: SET THE DEPLOYMENT NAME
+```
+deployment_name="<name_as_per_specification>""$current_date"
+```
+
+example for reference: 'AutoRAML02-26-2024'
+
+#### STEP 3: TRIGGER DEPLOYMENT
+```
+az deployment group create --name $deployment_name --resource-group <resource_group_name on azure> --template-file ./main.bicep --parameters ./azuredeploy.parameters.json --verbose --confirm-with-what-if
+```
+
+#### STEP 4: CONFIRM CHANGES (y/N)
+
+#### STEP 5: TRACK THE STATUS OF YOUR DEPLOYMENT UNDER
+    - https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/BrowseResourceGroups
+    - Click on your resource group
+    - Click on the 'Deployments' tab on the left panel
+    - Check the status of the deployment name for which your triggered deployment.
