summary
Shows concrete new capabilities: Deployment Stacks that create a stack resource, attach deny assignments, and can delete or detach unmanaged resources in one command; demos run in VS Code and mostly work though a live demo hits a stuck deployment state. Demonstrates the Bicep type system using resource input and a discriminated union to catch invalid VM configs, highlights What‑If v2, experimental extensibility for Microsoft Graph and Kubernetes via MCR, and mentions wait‑and‑retry plus existence checks and a six‑month roadmap.
