About This Course
Enterprise Agentic AI with Azure AI Foundry is designed to help technical leaders and builders design, ground, and operationalize enterprise-grade AI agents.
At the heart of the curriculum is Azure AI Foundry, the control plane where participants orchestrate the full build → evaluate → deploy → govern lifecycle.
Over two days, you’ll learn to:
- Apply the Microsoft Agent Framework to design reliable, tool-using agents.
- Integrate Prompt Flow, Content Safety, and Evaluation directly into your Foundry projects to ensure quality and compliance.
- Leverage Azure AI Search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for grounded, cited responses.
- Deploy agents to enterprise‑aligned Azure infrastructure patterns (APIM, private endpoints, managed identities).
- Explore multi-agent orchestration and advanced protocols (MCP, A2A) for scalable, collaborative systems.
The course combines hands-on labs, expert guidance, and enterprise patterns so teams leave with both practical skills and a governance-ready blueprint for building sophisticated AI agents at scale.
Learning Objectives
The objective of this program is to equip participants with the skills to design, build, ground, and deploy enterprise-grade agentic AI solutions within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem. The course provides a practical foundation in using the Microsoft Agent Framework and managing the full agent lifecycle in Azure AI Foundry, with a focus on integrating enterprise data through Azure AI Search and Prompt Flow, applying evaluation and safety guardrails, and deploying secure, scalable solutions that follow enterprise best practices.
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of Python programming.
- A foundational understanding of core Azure concepts (e.g., subscriptions, IAM, basic networking).
- Conceptual knowledge of APIs and data structures (e.g., JSON).
- Prior experience with machine learning or AI concepts is beneficial but no mandatory.
Target Audience
- Technical managers, team leads, and architects seeking a deep, hands-on understanding of how to build and deploy AI agents.
- Intermediate-level participants with a good technical background, such as software developers, data scientists, and ML engineers.
- Teams tasked with digital transformation or process improvement initiatives who need to move beyond prototypes to scalable solutions.
