From Code to Cloud: Getting Started with Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents

Building an AI agent is one thing. But how do you take it from a few lines of code to a scalable, production-ready application in the cloud?

Join us for another Azure Qatar Community session featuring Mohammed Elrashed, Senior AI & Apps Solutions Engineer at Microsoft, as we explore Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents! 🤖

In this hands-on session, we'll cover:

🔹 From prompts to agents: Why do we need Hosted Agents?

🔹 Understanding the building blocks: Models, code, tools, state, and runtime.

🔹 Live Demo: Building, running, and deploying a Hosted Agent in Microsoft Foundry.

🔹 How managed runtimes handle sessions, compute, and scaling.

🔹 Production essentials: Identity, observability, tracing, and versioning.

🔹 When and why to choose Hosted Agents for your AI applications.

Whether you're just getting started with AI agents or looking to take your existing projects further, this session is for you! No advanced experience required (L100–L200).
