In this community deep dive, junjieli walks through the GA release of Microsoft Foundry Toolkit for Visual Studio Code—covering model experimentation, agent development (no-code and code-first), evaluations, deployment to Microsoft Foundry Agent Service, and workflows for converting, profiling, and fine-tuning local models on Windows.

carlottacaste spotlights Athiq Ahmed’s winning Agents League Reasoning Agents project, CertPrep, detailing a Microsoft Foundry-based multi-agent pipeline that builds study plans, tracks readiness, generates assessments, and applies guardrails and human approval steps.

Dalibor_Kovacevic announces new Azure SRE Agent connectors for Log Analytics and Application Insights, enabling faster, MCP-backed KQL querying with simplified RBAC setup via managed identities.

Vineela-Suri walks through an event-driven pipeline where Terraform drift alerts trigger Azure SRE Agent via an authenticated HTTP endpoint, so the agent can correlate drift with Azure telemetry, classify severity, recommend safe remediation, notify Microsoft Teams, and even open a GitHub PR.

Sreekanth_Thirthala announces a public preview feature for Azure API Center: a plugin marketplace endpoint that lets developers discover and install AI plugins (including MCP servers and skills) from tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI, while keeping enterprise governance and auth intact.

chandanAggarwal announces the public preview of Container Network Insights Agent, an agentic AI assistant for diagnosing AKS networking issues by correlating Kubernetes, Cilium/Hubble, and node-level Linux telemetry, then producing evidence-backed root-cause reports and remediation commands.

Michelle_Moya announces expanded App attach support in Azure Virtual Desktop, adding Windows Server 2025 and Windows Server 2022 session hosts to enable dynamic delivery of packaged apps without baking them into base images.

NaufalPrawironegoro explains how to bring on-prem and multi-cloud SQL Server instances under Azure management with Azure Arc, covering onboarding (agent + PowerShell), unified Azure Portal visibility, best-practices assessments via Log Analytics, policy-based governance, monitoring, and common troubleshooting scenarios.

shobhitgarg describes a new Azure CLI experience that enables Azure Backup for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with a single command, reducing the previous multi-step onboarding (extensions, vaults, policies, trusted access) into an automation-friendly workflow for platform teams.

PrabhKaur (co-authored with Avneesh Kaushik) lays out an architecture-focused checklist for building AI agents in Microsoft Foundry with security, observability, least privilege, continuous validation, and human accountability built in from the start.

dhruti explains why cloud-native migrations to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) often “succeed” in deployment but still fail at runtime during production cutover, and outlines the dependency, DR, and batch-processing checks needed for operational readiness.

simonjj shares an Azure Developer CLI template that deploys Google’s Gemma 4 (via Ollama) onto Azure Container Apps serverless GPU with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, protected by an Nginx basic-auth proxy, plus steps to verify the API and wire it into the OpenCode terminal coding agent for private, in-subscription prompting.

kirankumar_manchiwar04 explains how Azure Private DNS Zones can return NXDOMAIN for missing Private Link records in hybrid and multi-region setups, and how enabling the NxDomainRedirect (“fallback to internet”) resolution policy on a VNet link lets Azure retry via public recursive DNS to keep applications connecting.

vdivizinschi explains how to run diagnostic and remediation commands across Azure VM Scale Set instances using Azure Run Command via the control plane, avoiding RDP/SSH. The post covers prerequisites, RBAC permissions, orchestration-mode differences (Uniform vs Flexible), and provides Bash/Azure CLI loops to run scripts across all instances.

Marc de Droog demonstrates Azure Virtual Network TAP (VTAP) by mirroring full VM NIC traffic (including payload) to a destination VM and inspecting the VXLAN-encapsulated packets in Wireshark.

sachoudhury explains GitHub Copilot Custom Skills: repo- or user-scoped SKILL.md “runbooks” that Copilot can discover and execute in agent mode to automate multi-step developer workflows (commands, scripts, and report generation).

In this community post, nishantmv breaks down a production-grade Azure serverless architecture for an enterprise facility-management IoT platform, covering a multi-provider telemetry pipeline, template-driven device modeling, an event-driven rule engine, and the security/resilience hardening that made it ready for production.

ManishChopra outlines six practical integration patterns for building agents and copilots that query Oracle Database@Azure with sub-millisecond proximity to Microsoft’s AI stack, covering options from Copilot Studio connectors to ORDS/PL/SQL, Azure Functions, and Logic Apps, plus the identity/governance controls typically needed for production.

jordanselig shows how to add runtime governance to a multi-agent ASP.NET Core travel planner on Azure App Service using the Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit, including YAML policy allowlists, audit logging into Application Insights, and SRE controls like SLOs and circuit breakers.

ssaluja72 shares a Sync-over-Async architecture pattern for edge API gateways on Azure Service Bus, replacing session-based request/reply correlation with stateless topic subscriptions filtered by CorrelationId to avoid session lock bottlenecks and improve horizontal scalability.
