Blueprints Roadmap

Hi,

What is the roadmap for Blueprints? It seems a bit vague in terms of updates and where its going? The feature feedback portal are mostly updates from a year ago.

Hi @Stuart Wepener ,

Most of the Blueprint resourcing is going towards Template Specs (video overview) and Deployment Stacks, which is what Blueprints are eventually going to use under the covers. For authoring improvements, focus is bicep. The GA (General Availability) ETA is set for March/April when the new underlying resource types (template specs and deployment stacks) are ready and we can migrate everything over.

More info in this talk:

Most of the Blueprint UserVoice asks are either already implemented in Templates/Template Specs, or they are something we will address with above mentioned future improvements to templates/bicep and stacks.

Lastly, even though the Blueprint service is listed as “Preview”, we treat the service as GA, which means even once a migration path is made available, we will continue to support the current Blueprint APIs for 1-3 years or until everyone has been migrated.

    We are using Blueprints heavily in our Prod env, do u think after migration to Biceps we can still support prod. Can we remain in BP or have to move to Biceps to get support in long run?

    I just found this proving that deployment stacks are going to be a thing
    https://livebook.manning.com/book/azure-infrastructure-as-code/chapter-11/78

    Also if you run the following you should see DeploymentStacksPreview

    az feature list -o table --query "[?contains(name, 'Microsoft.Resources/DeploymentStacksPreview')].{Name:name,State:properties.state}"

    and you can register with this

    az feature register --namespace "Microsoft.Resources" --name "DeploymentStacksPreview"
