despindola announces general availability of prefix-scoped access for User Delegation SAS in Azure Blob Storage, letting you scope SAS tokens to a virtual directory (prefix) within a container. The post explains why this helps least-privilege access and includes REST API and .NET SDK examples plus required parameters like sr=d and sdd.
skundapura outlines a phased approach to migrate file-based application logging from Splunk to Azure Application Insights on VMs, using Azure Monitor Agent and Log Analytics, then mapping alerts and optionally adding SDK instrumentation for deeper traces and metrics with security and PHI considerations.
Shah_Viral explains how to build an enterprise “knowledge copilot” on Azure using Foundry IQ knowledge bases and Azure AI Search agentic retrieval, including C#/.NET setup, MCP-based agent connection, and key trade-offs around preview maturity, cost, latency, and security controls like ACLs and Purview labels.
rajesh-yadav breaks down what shipped in Microsoft Agent Framework 1.0 (GA), explaining its agent + workflow split, core runtime building blocks, and new interoperability pieces like A2A and MCP. The post includes minimal C# and Python examples using Azure AI Foundry/Projects endpoints to run an agent in production-style setups.
AmritpalSinghNaroo explains common, real-world reasons Azure App Service can return HTTP 404 even when the app looks “Running”, and provides a practical checklist to isolate whether the issue is routing, startup/configuration, deployment artifacts, platform differences (Windows vs Linux), or upstream components like Application Gateway.
vikasgupta5 explains how Azure Functions Service Bus triggers work and provides a practical troubleshooting guide for common failures like connection/auth issues, message lock loss, DLQ behavior, duplicate processing, scaling problems, sessions, and AMQP/network errors, with concrete host.json settings and verification steps.
Debapriya explains how to use VS Code Dev Containers to make .NET development reproducible, including a working .NET 8 Web API + PostgreSQL setup with Docker Compose, plus practical guidance for Docker Desktop vs Docker Engine in WSL and common troubleshooting checks.
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.
mosiddi explains how Microsoft’s open-source Agent Governance Toolkit implements production-grade security and reliability controls for autonomous AI agents, covering its package architecture, policy enforcement (Agent OS), zero-trust identity (Agent Mesh), privilege rings (Agent Hypervisor), and SRE/observability integrations, including Azure deployment patterns.
jordanselig shows how to instrument Microsoft Agent Framework agents with OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions and send that telemetry to Azure Application Insights, enabling the Agents (Preview) view for per-agent token usage, latency, errors, and end-to-end agent runs across an ASP.NET Core API and a WebJob.
jordanselig walks through building an MCP App (a tool plus a UI resource) with ASP.NET Core, rendering an interactive weather widget inside chat clients like VS Code Copilot, and deploying the MCP server to Azure App Service using azd and Bicep.
Gaurav-Seth describes a hands-on, AI-guided workflow for migrating legacy IIS-hosted ASP.NET Framework apps to Managed Instance on Azure App Service, including how registry, storage, SMTP/MSMQ, and COM dependencies are handled via ARM templates and an install.ps1 startup script.
Byron Tardif outlines where Azure App Service is actively investing—Premium v4, App Service Managed Instance, runtime updates, reliability work, and deployment workflow improvements—plus how .NET Aspire and AI-enabled apps fit into the platform’s direction.
TulikaC announces the general availability of .NET Aspire on Azure App Service, outlining how to deploy Aspire AppHost-based distributed apps to App Service (including deployment slots), with links to Microsoft Learn quickstarts and configuration guidance.
swapnil_nagar explains how to avoid all-or-nothing retries when processing Azure Service Bus messages in Azure Functions batch mode by manually settling each message (complete/abandon/dead-letter/defer), with examples in Node.js, Python, and .NET.
fiveisprime introduces “Code Optimizations” in the Azure App Service VS Code extension, which uses Application Insights Profiler data to pinpoint slow .NET methods and then launches GitHub Copilot Chat with stack traces and source context to suggest targeted fixes.
Lee_Stott explores how to build On-Call Copilot, an AI-driven, multi-agent incident triage and reporting solution using Microsoft Agent Framework, Foundry Hosted Agents, Model Router, and Azure OpenAI—detailing the technical patterns, code, and deployment steps for practical DevOps engineers.
Mandy Whaley outlines how GitHub Copilot and the new modernization agent are bringing AI-powered automation to every stage of application modernization, with end-to-end workflows integrating deeply into Azure and developer toolchains.
SajalMukherjee explores how Azure API Management enables the Backend-for-Frontend pattern, offering practical API orchestration and aggregation strategies to tailor APIs for diverse frontend needs.
Sanchit Mehta presents a detailed look at how the Azure SRE Agent autonomously investigates and resolves incidents, often identifying and fixing its own issues. The post explains how architectural choices—like filesystem workspaces and context layering—make these advanced AI-driven capabilities possible.
