Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents with Microsoft Agent Framework

Overview Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents with Microsoft Agent Framework is a hands-on technical session hosted by Microsoft Reactor Bengaluru. The event focuses on how developers can build and deploy production-ready AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) alongside Microsoft Foundry.

What to Expect This is a practical, build-oriented session rather than a high-level overview. Attendees will walk through the process of creating agents with the Microsoft Agent Framework and taking them from local development to a hosted, production-ready deployment on Microsoft Foundry. The session is designed to give participants a working understanding of the tooling, patterns, and deployment workflow involved in shipping agent-based applications.

Who It's For

• Developers and engineers building AI or agent-based applications
• Cloud and platform engineers working with Microsoft Azure and Foundry
• Technical founders and CTOs evaluating agent frameworks for their products
• Solution architects and technical leads exploring production AI agent deployment

Agenda

• Introduction to Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF)
• Building agents with MAF
• Hosting and deploying agents on Microsoft Foundry
• Hands-on walkthrough of a production-ready agent workflow
• Q&A and discussion

About the Organiser Microsoft Reactor Bengaluru is part of Microsoft's global Reactor program - community-focused spaces that host developer events, workshops, and technical sessions. Reactor events are typically free, hands-on, and led by Microsoft engineers and community experts, covering topics across Azure, AI, cloud-native development, and the broader Microsoft developer ecosystem. The Bengaluru Reactor serves the city's large and active developer community, which is one of the largest concentrations of software talent in India.

Format This is a one-hour session running from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM IST, combining presentation and hands-on demonstration. As with most Reactor sessions, it is aimed at giving attendees practical, immediately applicable knowledge they can use in their own projects.

Why Attend Agent frameworks are becoming a core part of how modern applications are built, and understanding how to move agents from prototype to production is a valuable skill for developers and technical decision-makers alike. This session offers a direct, practical look at Microsoft's approach to that problem.
