Vineela Suri explains how the Azure SRE Agent plugin marketplace works: teams publish plugins (skills + MCP connectors) to a shared GitHub repo, and any SRE Agent instance can discover and install them. The post walks through an AKS incident investigation example and the marketplace.json manifest structure.

skundapura explains how to observe and troubleshoot AI agent workloads in Azure AI Foundry, comparing tracing and telemetry support across Microsoft Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, LangChain/LangGraph, and the OpenAI Agent SDK using OpenTelemetry with Azure Monitor and Application Insights.

dbandaru shows how to connect the New Relic-hosted MCP server (Preview) to Azure SRE Agent, including API key setup, RBAC considerations, and how to create a New Relic-focused subagent/skill so the agent can query NRQL, traces, logs, metrics, alerts, and dashboards via natural language.

prabhattomar explains how to build a Kubernetes-native DBaaS-style SQL platform using Crossplane to provision Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server, including private networking, DNS-based read/write endpoints, and an active-passive multi-region HA/DR approach with replica promotion and Traffic Manager routing.

Sokuma announces the public preview of Azure Monitor Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and explains how SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and burn-rate alerting help teams measure real customer impact (availability and latency) using Azure Monitor metrics at the Service Group level.

skundapura outlines a phased approach to migrate file-based application logging from Splunk to Azure Application Insights on VMs, using Azure Monitor Agent and Log Analytics, then mapping alerts and optionally adding SDK instrumentation for deeper traces and metrics with security and PHI considerations.

VaidhyaP introduces AG-UI (Agent–User Interface), a protocol for connecting AI agents to rich frontends with streaming events, declarative UI proposals, shared state updates, and human-in-the-loop approvals, plus practical security guidance like Azure AD protection and Key Vault-backed secrets.

Samarpitaa explains where Azure AI Foundry IQ fits (and doesn’t) for enterprise agent knowledge access, then shows a reference approach for querying Foundry IQ knowledge bases directly via the Azure AI Search Python SDK with permission-aware retrieval and citations.

Shah_Viral explains how to build an enterprise “knowledge copilot” on Azure using Foundry IQ knowledge bases and Azure AI Search agentic retrieval, including C#/.NET setup, MCP-based agent connection, and key trade-offs around preview maturity, cost, latency, and security controls like ACLs and Purview labels.

dikshashakya explains how to turn long-form video transcripts into structured Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) using GraphRAG to build a knowledge graph and Azure OpenAI to generate grounded sections like scope, definitions, responsibilities, and step-by-step procedures.

singhshub shows how to integrate HashiCorp Vault with Terraform so secrets (like Azure VM admin credentials) are fetched at runtime instead of being stored in .tf files, variable files, or pipeline variables, including KV v2 policy paths, auth options, and state protection guidance.

JennyF explains how Microsoft’s 1ES team uses agentic AI (including GitHub Copilot CLI) plus “skills” and “agent signals” to speed up CVE remediation and compliance work across many repositories, while keeping humans in the loop for review, validation, and deployment.

LuisFilipe explains how Azure Blob Storage SFTP users should handle Microsoft’s host key change, including when it impacts SSH key-based authentication, how to pre-update trusted host keys, and how to identify SFTP usage via Azure Resource Graph and Log Analytics queries.

vsriramdas explains how to use Microsoft PyRIT to red-team agentic AI systems, then shows how to wrap PyRIT with a YAML-driven CLI so you can run repeatable scans in CI/CD and gate releases based on OWASP LLM Top 10-aligned findings.

lexinadolski recaps Microsoft’s presence in the CNCF Project Pavilion at KubeCon EU 2026, summarizing the technical conversations and themes across Kubernetes projects—migration to Gateway API, confidential computing, image signing, observability tooling, and requests for deeper Azure/AKS and AI-workload support.

Amreen explains how to implement Istio-based weighted traffic routing on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including cookie-based session affinity and private, real-time traffic shaping. The post compares native Azure load balancing options and provides production-ready Istio YAML for AKS-only and AKS-to-Azure-VM backends.

YogeshwaranKannaiyan walks through a real-world troubleshooting case where Azure SQL Managed Instance Failover Group creation failed in a hub–spoke network with a centralized firewall, and explains the specific port, routing, DNS zone, and firewall behaviors that commonly block replication from initializing.

vsakash shares a production-tested Terraform pattern for deploying Azure Redis Enterprise across regions with geo-replication, focusing on primary/replica design, per-region isolation (networking and Key Vault), and a parameterization approach that scales cleanly from dev to prod.

rajesh-yadav breaks down what shipped in Microsoft Agent Framework 1.0 (GA), explaining its agent + workflow split, core runtime building blocks, and new interoperability pieces like A2A and MCP. The post includes minimal C# and Python examples using Azure AI Foundry/Projects endpoints to run an agent in production-style setups.

AmritpalSinghNaroo explains common, real-world reasons Azure App Service can return HTTP 404 even when the app looks “Running”, and provides a practical checklist to isolate whether the issue is routing, startup/configuration, deployment artifacts, platform differences (Windows vs Linux), or upstream components like Application Gateway.
