Azure Marketplace - Could not Create marketplace item
I am trying to create a marketplace offering on Azure. After successfully going through the publishing process, when I click on my offering I just see this: The "Preview" works fine though. I uploaded an app icon which shows in the preview, so not really sure what Gallery item it's asking for.Securing AI agents in the agentic era
As AI agents take on more autonomous roles across enterprise applications, security must evolve just as quickly. In this article, explore a practical security playbook for the agentic era—covering key risks, governance considerations, and foundational principles for deploying and scaling AI agents responsibly. You’ll also learn why these security considerations matter for solutions built, published, and transacted through Microsoft Marketplace, where trust, compliance, and enterprise readiness are essential.

Hey folks 👋 Looking for some real-world advice from people who’ve been through this. Context: We’ve been listed as a Microsoft Teams app for several years now. The app is stable, actively used, and well-maintained - but for a long time, Teams Marketplace wasn’t a meaningful acquisition channel for us. Things changed a bit last year. We started seeing organic growth without running any dedicated campaigns, plus more mid-market and enterprise teams installing the app, running trials, and even using it in production. That was encouraging - but it also raised a bigger question. How do you actually systematize this and get real, repeatable benefits from the Teams Marketplace? I know there are Microsoft Partner programs, co-sell motions, marketplace benefits, etc. - but honestly, it’s been very hard to figure out: - where exactly to start - what applies to ISVs building Teams apps - how to apply correctly - and what actually moves the needle vs. what’s just “nice to have” On top of that, it’s unclear how (or if) you can interact directly with the Teams/Marketplace team. From our perspective, this should be a win-win: we invest heavily into the platform, build for Teams users, and want to make that experience better. Questions to the community: If you’re a Teams app developer: what actually worked for you in terms of marketplace growth? Which Partner programs or motions are worth the effort, and which can be safely ignored early on? Is there a realistic way to engage with the Teams Marketplace team (feedback loops, programs, office hours, etc.)? How do you go from “organic installs happen” to a structured channel? Would really appreciate any practical advice, lessons learned, or even “what not to do” stories 🙏 Thanks in advance!Agentic AI security: Prompt injection and manipulation attacks
As AI apps and autonomous agents gain more reasoning and independence, they also open new pathways for adversarial attacks. Join this webinar and hear how the most critical risks are broken down—prompt injection, goal hijacking, and memory poisoning—and how they the impact real AI applications. Learn practical defenses your teams can implement today, including input validation, behavioral detection, and robust architectural patterns that keep agentic systems aligned and secure.

Visual Studio Enterprise Monthly Azure Credits
Please confirm that all developers of MS partners are losing the individual Azure credits (150$ monthly) in the new MAICPP benefits. We just realized that our team will lose the ability to test Marketplace solutions, and now, in the time that we are trying to enforce the usage and explore the AI technology possibilities, it will set us back a lot. Also, the increased bulk credits do not add up, since we have 35 developers who are using these credits, totaling 63k$ per year, opposed to the 16k$ increase of bulk credits (we have 4 areas) is a significant loss. How come Microsoft decided to stop supporting the development? Is there any way to change these new benefits? Or is there a way to keep these Azure credits, maybe with an Enterprise agreement?Why build your AI apps and agents with Microsoft
