Description

There doesn't appear to be a way to make the deployment asynchronous. For deployment of SQL Managed Instances, which can take up to 4 hours, this doesn't work. We run into github action timeouits. This will force us to use hybrid runners, or I guess use the azure cli directly to deploy the bicep file.

Can you look into adding a nowait parameter to bvicep-deploy?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the bicep-deploy action's deployment flow and how its inputs are exposed. Define how a nowait option should behave for long-running SQL Managed Instance deployments, then verify that asynchronous deployment avoids GitHub Actions timeouts while preserving the existing synchronous behavior.
