Every Bicep release ships experimental features you can try — but some innovations are not in an official release at all. They sit behind a feature flag, or quietly wait to be merged from a pull request. A guided tour of what has not landed yet: installing the nightly CLI, running the new syntax improvements, and the behind-the-scenes work that changes how you write Bicep. Not for production.

Azure Bicep keeps evolving. Look at the history and every release includes experimental features you can try. Some of the innovations, though, are not in the official releases at all: they sit behind an experimental feature flag, or quietly wait to be merged from a pull request. These are the ideas that shape Bicep’s next steps.

In this session Maik and Gijs take you on a guided tour through the latest experimental features that have not reached an official release — yet. You discover how to install the latest CLI version, run the new experimental syntax improvements, and the behind-the-scenes enhancements that change how you develop your Bicep files. You get the features you can use today, with the clear caveat that they do not belong in production.

What you take home:

installing the latest Bicep CLI with the nightly build script
working with PR-stage features that improve the developer experience
applying it all through real demos and practical scenarios

Ideal for Azure cloud engineers, DevOps practitioners and solution architects who want to go beyond the stable surface. If you like pushing the boundaries, this is your backstage pass.
