<p>Legacy codebases frequently contain hardcoded logic and complex build scripts that depend on specific filesystem structures, making them notoriously difficult to modernize in isolated environments. Docker Sandbox addresses this challenge through a bidirectional workspace sync that preserves the same absolute paths inside the sandbox as on the host. This means that when a GitHub Copilot […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/best-of-both-worlds-for-agentic-refactoring-github-copilot-microvms-via-docker-sandbox/">Best of Both Worlds for Agentic Refactoring: GitHub Copilot + MicroVMs via Docker Sandbox</a> appeared first on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure">All things Azure</a>.</p>

<p>AI agents are quickly moving from experiments to production‑critical components of modern applications. But while many teams know how to build agents, far fewer are confident they’re hosting them on the right foundation. Most organizations start by deploying agents the same way they deploy microservices—containers, functions, or app services. That approach works initially. But as […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/hostedagent/">Choosing the Right Azure Hosting Model for AI Agents: A Deep Dive into Foundry Hosted Agents</a> appeared first on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure">All things Azure</a>.</p>

<p>Practices, Principles, and Strategic Direction Software delivery has entered a new phase. AI agents are no longer confined to autocomplete suggestions in the editor. They are opening pull requests, generating code across multiple files, proposing infrastructure changes, responding to issues with working implementations, and executing multi-step engineering tasks with minimal human intervention. Tools like GitHub […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/agentic-devops-practices-principles-strategic-direction/">DevOps Playbook for the Agentic Era</a> appeared first on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure">All things Azure</a>.</p>

<p>In Part 1 of this blog series set the stage for why platform engineering is being reshaped by agentic AI. (read it here) Basically we outline how instead of humans translating intent through layers of CLIs, SDKs, and bespoke workflows, capable agents can interpret natural-language goals and turn them into safe, validated platform actions using […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/putting-agentic-platform-engineering-to-the-test/">Putting Agentic Platform Engineering to the test</a> appeared first on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure">All things Azure</a>.</p>

<p>If you work in field engineering, you know the scenario. A customer is deploying AKS in a regulated environment. They hit an issue during node bootstrapping. They want to know exactly what happens when a node joins the cluster, which components run in which order, and whether the behaviour they’re seeing is expected. The question […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/project-nighthawk-a-research-agent-built-for-field-engineering/">Project Nighthawk: A Research Agent Built for Field Engineering</a> appeared first on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure">All things Azure</a>.</p>

<p>And the developers running Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI didn’t notice… Status Page Says ‘Operational.’ Your Subagents Say Otherwise. If you’re running autonomous agents in any serious capacity, you’ve experienced this: model provider outages aren’t edge cases — they’re part of the operating environment. Anthropic has had outages. OpenAI has had outages. Google has had outages.

<p>We’ve talked about the human scale problem and what happens when infrastructure scales but understanding doesn’t. If you’ve been following along, you know the thesis: our tools have outpaced our ability to operate them, and platform engineering is how we’re fighting back. But here’s the thing – we’ve been fighting with one hand tied behind our backs.
