What you'll learn

Deploying an agent into production introduces challenges around packaging, configuration, secure access, release management, observability, governance, performance, and cost. In this course, Deploying and Operating .NET Agents with Foundry, you'll gain the ability to deploy, secure, monitor, and operate .NET agents in Microsoft Foundry. First, you'll explore how to package, deploy, configure, version, validate, and roll back hosted agents. Next, you'll discover how to secure agent access with Microsoft Entra and managed identity while applying appropriate tool, content-safety, network, and data-handling controls. Finally, you'll learn how to monitor agent execution with OpenTelemetry, Foundry, and Application Insights, then use production telemetry to troubleshoot issues, right-size runtime settings, and estimate operational costs. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of production agent deployment and operations in Microsoft Foundry needed to run .NET agents securely, reliably, observably, and cost-effectively in production.
