How do Bicep and ARM templates relate?

Microsoft describes Bicep as a transparent abstraction over an Azure Resource Manager JSON template: the Bicep CLI converts a Bicep file into an ARM JSON template during deployment, and any resource type, API version or property valid in an ARM template is valid in Bicep. Bicep supports all preview and GA resource types and API versions as soon as a resource provider introduces them, needs no state files because Azure stores state, and is free and open source with Microsoft support. Microsoft's ARM template overview recommends that people choosing infrastructure as code for Azure look at Bicep.

What did Pulumi announce in May 2026?

Pulumi's May 2026 release brought its Neo agent into the terminal with a new pulumi neo command, and let users mention Neo in GitHub issues and pull requests and in Slack. A pulumi do command performs direct create, read, update, delete and list operations across supported clouds. Pulumi also announced providers for CoreWeave, including CoreWeave Kubernetes Service, and for the NVIDIA AI Cluster Runtime. Co-founder and CEO Joe Duffy was quoted as saying LLMs now do over 20% of infrastructure deployments, up from virtually zero a year ago.

What are AWS CDK Mixins?

AWS announced general availability of CDK Mixins on 12 March 2026. They add composable, reusable abstractions to L1, L2 or custom constructs without rewriting existing code, and are available through the aws-cdk-lib package in all AWS Regions where CloudFormation is supported. A .with() call applies features such as auto-delete, bucket encryption, versioning and blocking public access, and Mixins.of() filters by resource type or path pattern.
