Hosted Agents Live: From Code to Production AI at Scale | LIVE170
Microsoft Foundry's Hosted Agents, now in preview, runs your bring-your-own agent code at cloud scale.
“You can write that code, test it out locally, and then in hosted agents, we will go run it for you.”
Microsoft announced Hosted Agents in Foundry (now in preview), letting developers bring their own agent code from frameworks like LangGraph, Microsoft Agent Framework, or the Anthropic Agent SDK and have Microsoft host it at cloud scale with connected models, tools, and observability. It matters because it shifts Foundry from prompt-based agents toward production-grade, code-defined agents, positioning Microsoft as a neutral hosting layer across competing agent frameworks.
