Chart your AI app and agent strategy with Microsoft Marketplace
Organizations exploring AI apps and agents face a critical choice: build, buy, or blend. There’s no one-size-fits-all—each approach offers unique benefits and trade-offs. Tune in for insights into the pros and cons of each approach and explore how the Microsoft Marketplace simplifies adoption by providing a single source for trusted AI apps, agents, and models. Learn how Marketplace accelerates time-to-value, reduces procurement times and serves as the trusted source to access a catalog of thousands of AI models, enabling you to innovate faster without sacrificing governance or cost control. Where do I post my questions? Scroll to the bottom of this page and select Comment. This session will be recorded and available on demand immediately after airing. It will feature AI-generated captions during the live broadcast. Human-generated captions and a recap of the Q&A will be available by the end of the week.Essentials to build and modernize AI applications on Azure
Need to confidently design AI applications? In this session we’ll explore the prescriptive guidance, resources and tools available within Azure Essentials to help you build and modernize reliable, secure AI applications. We will demo how to get started designing an AI workload using the AI assessment tool from the Azure Well-Architected Framework and then show how to build it using Azure AI Foundry. This session is part of Tech Accelerator: Mastering Azure and AI adoption. View the full agenda for more great sessions and insights.
Azd Community Standup - Deploy apps from anywhere with the Azure Developer CLI
Join the azd team for the latest product news, community highlights, demos and Q&A. This month we'll talk about using azd in Cloud Shell, previewing infrastructure changes, and more! Community Links: https://www.theurlist.com/azd Featuring: Savannah Ostrowski (@savostrowski), Grace Kulin (@gracekulin) #developers #azure #vscodeIntroducing Azure Programmable Connectivity Powering Network-Aware Applications
Three trends in distributed computing are converging. First, the number of places where applications can run has grown to include the cloud, public and private edges, and on-device. Second, distributed applications increasingly span these compute targets simultaneously, with placement decisions based on cost, location, and performance requiring continuous evaluation. Third, the networks connecting these compute targets are increasingly programmable, allowing applications to query and dynamically configure network conditions and behavior via APIs. Azure offers excellent support for deploying and managing applications across the full diversity of today’s compute targets. We have a limited, private preview program for Azure Programmable Connectivity (APC) to support network-aware applications that span compute targets and program the networks in between. Who should attend? • Developers who want to enhance the connectivity of their applications and make it more reliable, efficient and secure • Developers who recognize that network connectivity is critical to the success of their applications, and want to learn how to leverage network programmability to achieve their goals • Developers who want to enhance the user experience of your application by optimizing network performance and reducing latency • Developers who are interested in learning about Network APIs What will I learn? Overall, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the benefits of network programmability and how it can be used to enhance application connectivity, performance, and security, as well as how to apply to the private preview program for Azure Programmable Connectivity to get hands-on experience with building network-aware applications.

Today, 5G enables new applications for scenarios that were previously out of reach. From smart roads that can notify of obstacles in the road in real time to smart airports that can identify runway issues before they threaten safety, a new breed of real-time and mission-critical applications is emerging. Developers can now start building their own MEC/Edge application by forking and evolving our open source MEC Application Solution Accelerator. This is an example application that offers a common foundation based on a light microservices architecture designed for the edge. It includes Kubernetes, docker containers, and Dapr framework. It also includes AI model inferencing capabilities with an example deep learning model that analyzes video coming from cameras, as well as MQTT event-driven communication following a publish/subscription pattern to raise events/alerts after detecting issues with the AI models. Who should attend? • Developers interested in building real-time and mission-critical applications for the edge with low latency. • Individuals interested in learning about AI model inferencing capabilities and deep learning models for analyzing video. • Professionals seeking to learn about light/fast event-driven communication between AI models events/alerts handlers. What will I learn? • How to build MEC/Edge applications using the open source MEC Application Solution Accelerator. • Understanding and get ready to get started on a light microservices and event-driven architecture, based on Kubernetes, Docker containers, Dapr framework and MQTT messaging broker for edge/mec applications with low latency. • The potential of 5G technology and how it enables new applications for previously unreachable scenarios.

The Funkiest API: Episode 3 Join Skyler and Jenn as they continue to build a Web UI showing data from the Funkiest API created in Episode 1 (previous sessions can be found on-demand) Episode 1 Episode 2 API’s are pretty cool, they allow different apps to communicate with each other. That’s all behind the scenes, but what if you want to display data from an API on a web page for others to see? Join Skyler and Jenn as they continue their adventures and create a web page to display data from an API. (Which happens to be the Funkiest API created in episode one) Nothing too fancy, but they’ll work through the basic concepts and, with your help, build the “Funkiest Web UI” for their API. In episode two, Skyler and Jenn created and deployed a 'Hello, world' React app to Azure Static Web Apps. They showed you how to develop a basic React app using hooks and functional components. Then how to fetch data from a CosmosDB database via an HTTP API hosted on Azure Functions and then stored it as client-side state. We will pick up where they left off, so we recommend watching that session in advance of this one. Speakers: Jenn Jinhong, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft A quirky geek who loves discovering and learning about new technologies and gadgets. My passion for helping others learn complex concepts and create amazing solutions drives me to build and nurture engaging technical communities. Skyler Hartle, Program Manager II, Microsoft I love bringing new ideas to life with the latest and greatest technology. Let me share too much with you, too fast, in too little time!Transition smoothly from Twilio Video to Azure
