Moving from Responsible AI Principles to Agent Deployment -- Panel Discussion

There will be a panel discussion with the speakers covering Responsible AI principles and AI Agents

Integrate AI into your own applications

This is a hands-on workshop where attendees will have the opportunity to learn about Azure AI Foundry and Semantic Kernel Fundamentals.

Participants will learn how to:

-Build a simple chat using Semantic Kernel and C#
-Add plugins and enable auto calling
-Import existing APIs using OpenAPI
-Multi-Agent workflows

By applying this knowledge, you will be able to integrate AI into your own applications.

NOTE: Before the Workshop, download the following software if it is not installed on your computer:
- Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code with:
--- C# Dev Kit Extension
--- GitHub Copilot Extension
- .NET 8 SDK
- Git CLI or GitHub Desktop

From Local to Cloud: Deploying an AI Agent to Microsoft Foundry with azd

Learn how to take an AI agent from your local machine and deploy it to the cloud using Microsoft Foundry and the Azure Developer CLI (azd).

In this demo-driven session, we’ll walk through how azd ai agent simplifies the process of provisioning infrastructure, deploying your agent, invoking it remotely, and monitoring it in real time, all from your terminal.

This session focuses on the developer workflow and inner loop, not production hardening, so you can quickly get your agent running in the cloud and iterate faster.

Driving API Conformance at Scale with Spectral, Kiota & Azure API Center

Join us for a deep dive into building and managing high-quality APIs at scale using three powerful tools in the modern API toolkit.

Spectral helps enforce style and governance rules across your OpenAPI definitions with customizable linting.

Kiota accelerates client SDK generation by turning OpenAPI documents into strongly-typed code in your preferred language.

Azure API Center acts as the central hub to catalog, discover, and govern all your APIs.

In this session, you’ll learn how these tools work together to drive API conformance across teams. From design and development to governance and consumption. Whether you’re managing internal APIs or publishing them externally, this session will show you how to bring consistency, automation, and visibility to your API strategy.

Reusable IaC with Azure Template Specs

Azure Template Specs is a service that allows you to define and version your infrastructure as code using templates. It enables you to define and deploy your infrastructure in a consistent and repeatable manner by separating your infrastructure code from the deployment code.

In this session, you will learn how to create, version, and publish reusable IaC components using Azure Template Specs. You will also explore best practices for designing and implementing these components, including how to use parameters and variables effectively, and how to manage dependencies between components.

Migrating ARM Templates to Bicep

In this session, you are going to be presented with the tools to help you migrate to Bicep, and also with a Planning, so you know what steps you need to perform to successfully accomplish this migration.

Getting started with Data API builder for Azure Databases

With the Data API builder, developers can easily connect apps to data sources, by leveraging APIs for their Azure databases without having to write any custom code, making it easier to access and manipulate data from their applications through REST OData or GraphQL.

Whether you're a developer looking to build modern applications or a data analyst looking to extract insights from your data through APIs, this session is going to get you familiar with Data API builder features and capabilities.

Feature Flags with Azure App Configuration

Let's explore an app with feature flags, and how you can easily enable/disable functionalities of your application.

Creating Professional Real World Azure Functions with .NET6

It is very easy to start coding with Azure Functions, but what considerations should a developer be aware of when creating Azure Functions with .NET6? Do you make use of coding best practices and principles? In this session, you'll learn about these important considerations and how to onboard best practices and principles to create professional real-world Azure Functions.
