Rethinking Infrastructure as Code from Scratch
Bicep has limitations which makes it non-declarative even though it is marketed as declarative: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manag...
MSFT is trying to add features to make this better, but it is not in production yet: https://github.com/Azure/bicep/issues/10460
Additionally, Bicep does not support interacting with Azure Active Directory: https://github.com/Azure/bicep/issues/7724
So it really is not very useful. Terraform is better in almost every single conceivable way.

Create your first Azure Bicep Template
Since its launch Bicep has become popular within the IT community. You can find blog posts, tweets, conference sessions, and plenty of interaction on the official Bicep GitHub space. Bicep became production ready at v0.3. It is supported by Microsoft Support Plans.

Bicep code design best practice - input very much appreciated!

APIM JSON Schema Validation done easy
Let's assume I already have an APIM bicep template that provisions API Management Instance.

Bicep Mode
I just created my first Emacs package, a major mode for the Bicep Language. I have to say it was quite easy to get to this. The Emacs docs are great and using LSP made it easy to add completion.

Farmer VS Pulumi
Bicep unfortunately chose to create a DSL instead of just exposing the dotnet API to allow IaC. Now there is a nuget package for Bicep core (https://github.com/Azure/bicep/pull/5826) you may be able to use dotnet code.

Would I replace Terraform with Bicep ? 💪🏽
Bicep is open source with a strong community supporting it. All the binaries for the different supported operating systems can be downloaded from the official releases page of the Bicep open source project.

[HIRING] Senior Software Engineer - Microsoft
The backend code is C#, with CosmosDb/TableStorage for persistence. Our client tools are also mostly C#, with some TypeScript, and some Python. Our backend code is currently closed-source, but our Bicep repo gives an example of our coding style.

Exploring cgroups v2 and MemoryQoS With EKS and Bottlerocket
According to this discussion - starting with Bottlerocket 1.13.0 (Mar 2023) new distributions will default to using Cgroups v2 interface for process organization and enforcing resource limits.

Bottlerocket – Minimal, immutable Linux OS with verified boot
It means there is a full trusted boot chain from the TPM to loading the immutable root filesystem: https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket/blob/develop...
Regular Linux distributions don't have this, even if Secure Boot is enabled: https://0pointer.net/blog/brave-new-trusted-boot-world.html
On the GitHub repo (https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket), there are instructions for using it on VMware and bare metal:
https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket/blob/develop...
https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket/blob/develop...
Well, the link I provided references the Bottlerocket docs which explains the control container and the admin container and also how you can configure Bottlerocket via the User Data field when launching it as an AMI. All the information appears to be in the docs

Introduction to Immutable Linux Systems
On the server-side, there's Bottlerocket OS [1] (Amazon). They use A/B partitions for upgrades, and the idea is that you just run containers for anything non-base. Boot containers are used to do custom configuration at boot, and host-container (or DaemonSet, if you run K8S) is used for long-running services.

Wolfi: A community Linux OS designed for the container and cloud-native era
To add to the other excellent answers, I would recommend adding Bottlerocket to your reading list: https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket#readme
I'm also aware of (but haven't used) https://github.com/siderolabs/talos#readme
I just realized your question may have implied a desktop os, whereas Bottlerocket, Flatcar, and likely the others in this specific thread are server-side. I don't have much experience with trying to solve that problem on the desktop except for the horror-show that is snap

Compile Linux Kernel 6.x on AL2? 😎
https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket/issues/2855 soon for bottlerocket, maybe you’ll see Amazon Linux 2023 for eks nodes soon too?

Twitter open sources Navi: High-Performance Machine Learning Serving Server in Rust
I think open sourcing for free labor is a common misconception. Most corporate led open source projects (eg, https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket from AWS or https://github.com/facebook/relay from Facebook) still require a team of employees.
