The demonstration program discussed (and used) in the previous blog posts ran entirely locally as a console application. This week I set out to migrate it to Foundry. To do so, I enlisted the help of Bruno Capuano and Jon Galloway, both of Microsoft, and, of course, Copilot, as documented in these videos (part 1 and part 2).
The change log is here. The architectural design can be found here. The complete demonstration solution is here.
The tl;dr is that we created projects for each of the four agents and deployed them individually to Foundry. The rest of the code stayed on the local machine. Each agent is independently deployed and each has its own managed compute and its own Entra ID, exposing an OpenAI-compatible /responses endpoint (as explained in the architectural design document).
The demonstration program will continue to evolve, but this marks a significant milestone… let’s call it version 3.0 (1.0 was LangChain/Python, 2.0 was the port to Microsoft Agent Framework/C#)
