Path to production for agents: a Microsoft Azure AI Tech Accelerator
Move AI agents from experimentation to production with trusted architecture, governance, and operations. Many organizations have made progress with AI prototypes, but struggle to turn early success into systems that are secure, reliable, and ready for real-world use. If you want to bridge that gap with practical, engineering-focused guidance across the full AI lifecycle—from foundational governance and architecture to deployment, security, and ongoing operation—don't miss this event. Learn how to establish trust in AI systems, design architectures that scale with control, and operate agentic solutions with confidence over time. Explore proven patterns for building production-ready foundations, managing risk and cost, and maintaining performance in dynamic, non-deterministic environments. Walk away with a clear path forward, offering actionable strategies and playbooks you can use to deliver secure, compliant, and high-performing AI solutions in your organization.

We will have a diverse group of product experts, business specialists, and engineers available to cover topics related to private 5G networks and edge computing. They will be standing by in this -- chat -- to offer guidance, discuss strategies and tactics, and answer any specific questions you may have. Upcoming office hours: April 13, 2023 - 9am Pacific May 4, 2023 - 9am Pacific How to join: Go to https://aka.ms/5gOfficeHours during office hour to join us live. No registration required. We look forward to answering your questions!Build an AI Center of Excellence for agent governance
AI governance and Center of Excellence (CoE) strategies are key to scaling trusted AI. Too many AI initiatives stall in the proof-of-concept graveyard—not because of lack of innovation, but because trust, consistency, and accountability are missing. Learn how to establish an AI Center of Excellence and governance framework that acts as a consistent "quality gate" across every layer of your AI applications. See how this approach helps you deliver a single, organization-wide view of secure, responsible, and trustworthy AI so you can confidently move from experimentation to production and scale with control.

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.
