The State of Infrastructure as Code with Bicep in 2026

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) on Azure has evolved rapidly, and 2026 marks a pivotal moment for Bicep as it continues maturing into Azure’s premier declarative language for cloud resource deployment. With its growing ecosystem of Azure‑verified modules, increasingly powerful capabilities, and ongoing improvements in authoring, type safety, and tooling, Bicep is redefining what “modern IaC” looks like for engineering teams.

This session explores where Bicep stands today, the innovations shaping its trajectory, and what this means for teams building scalable, secure, and modular cloud platforms.
