Episode 64 - Microsoft Foundry for .NET Developers with Saravanan Ganesan

Shows how .NET developers use Microsoft Foundry, Azure AI, Semantic Kernel and patterns like A2A and MCP to build and scale agent-driven, production-ready intelligent applications.In this podcast, we explore how .NET developers can rapidly build and scale intelligent, agent-driven applications using Microsoft Foundry. Learn how to integrate Azure AI capabilities, orchestrate multi-agent workflows with Semantic Kernel, and leverage modern patterns like A2A and MCP to create real-world, production-ready AI solutions. This talk focuses on practical architecture, developer productivity, and how to bring AI-powered applications to life faster within the .NET ecosystem.

Had a conversation with Joel Oleson about Enterprise AI GovernanceYou thought it was hard to herd cats and govern SharePoint. Now imagine lobster ranching, expect they aren’t in cages and they are all over the place! Climbing all over your enterprise data.Let’s chat about the current and future state of agentic governance.

In this episode chat with the one of the creator behind Gtihub Agentic workflows to find out what inspired him and tell his story behind it. Peli traces the idea from continuous AI with GitHub Next to early prototypes running coding agents in CI/CD, and explains why automation experience from .NET testing and MakeCode learning sandboxes shaped the design. He defines agentic workflows as markdown-defined workers compiled to Actions, with layered security including containers, microVMs, firewalls, MCP-gated access, and a zero-secret policy.https://github.com/github/gh-aw

We talk with Navyasree Potluri who is from Microsoft about FabricIQ Integration

In this episode we discuss the new Foundry Toolbox with Arafat Tehsin. Toolbox is a new way to centralise, configure, and reuse tools across all of your AI agents without re-configuring them in Microsoft Foundry.

We talk with Tiago Costa about what “secure by design” looks like on Azure when teams want AI fast but lack the basics like data governance, landing zones, and repeatable deployment. We share lessons on cost shocks from token-based billing, why click ops undermines security, and how to guide teams towards safer habits without slowing delivery.    Text Us About the Show

Jordan shares the thinking behind “Easy AI”: add agents and agentic workflows to what you already run, even when the people operating the system don’t know the codebase inside out.
