Lee Stott shows how to provision the Azure infrastructure for Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents using Terraform, including the Foundry Account and Project, an OpenAI model deployment, managed identity + RBAC, monitoring with Log Analytics/Application Insights, and a GitHub Actions workflow using OIDC for CI/CD.

Lee Stott lays out a practical GitOps approach for running Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents in production, using GitHub as the source of truth and GitHub Actions/Tasks for validation, promotion gates, and rollback. It includes a reference architecture, repo layout, workflow examples, and security/observability guidance.

Lee Stott shows how to build a fully on-device voice assistant using Microsoft Foundry Local, combining Nemotron Speech Streaming for live transcription with a small local chat model. The post focuses on a practical FastAPI + browser pipeline, plus the SDK/version and streaming details needed to avoid deadlocks and “model not found” errors.

Lee Stott breaks down the Microsoft Foundry Agent Lab, a progressive set of nine Python demos that build from a minimal prompt agent to tool calling, RAG, MCP/Toolbox governance, and a self-hosted agent using the Responses protocol, with practical notes on model routing, deployment, and security.

Lee Stott announces Agents League, a week-long hackathon (part of AI Skills Fest) featuring live “AI coding battles” and project submissions across tracks using GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Foundry, and Copilot Studio, with a $55,000 prize pool and a Microsoft Reactor event series.
