" summary

Microsoft shows Azure IaC work that actually ships: Bicep and Terraform integrations, a new API Terraform provider with full CRUD and type hints that removes lag for new Azure features, and a portal feature to export bicep and terraform from portal as starter code. Deployment stacks now track lifecycle and can delete only the resources the stack manages, Bicep adds user‑defined types and semantic modules, Copilot experiments exist, and adoption grows ~20% year‑over‑year with tens of millions of resources deployed monthly.
