Azure Decoded: The New Migration & Modernization Foundation Virtual Training Day

8:00 PM - 9:00 PM (UTC)

Migration isn’t just “move it to Azure.” In this Azure Decoded session, we’ll walk through a holistic, foundation-first approach to migrating and modernizing an on-prem estate — compute, databases, and apps — and then show what to do after you land: security, resiliency, monitoring, and optimization. We’ll also highlight where newer “agentic” capabilities (Azure Copilot / GitHub Copilot–assisted workflows) fit into the journey, and how the new Migrate & Modernize Foundation VTD is structured to help practitioners pick the right path without drowning in theory. What you’ll learn: Choose the right migration path. (rehost vs. replatform vs. refactor/re-architect) and see how CAF + landing zones and Azure Migrate fit into a practical plan. Map your workload mix to Azure targets — VM/AVS options for compute, and clear choices across SQL/Oracle/PostgreSQL/MySQL migration approaches and tooling. Modernize after the move: how to prioritize security + resiliency (e.g., Defender for Cloud concepts), plus the operational basics (monitoring, scaling, backup/DR) so the migration actually sticks.

Azure Decoded: When Agents Work Together: Multi-Agent Orchestration on Azure

8:00 PM - 9:00 PM (UTC)

One agent is powerful. Multiple agents working together? That's transformational. In this session, we explore multi-agent orchestration patterns: how to design agent teams, delegate tasks, and coordinate complex workflows. Using Semantic Kernel and Microsoft Foundry, you'll see how to build agent systems that divide and conquer problems too complex for a single agent. What you'll learn: • When single agents aren't enough (and when they are) • Multi-agent architecture patterns: delegation, collaboration, debate • Building agent teams with Semantic Kernel • Coordinating complex workflows across agents • Real-world use cases: research assistants, code review teams, customer service escalation Who should attend: Developers who've built their first agent and want to scale up to multi-agent solutions. Explore the Learn paths: Build a foundation to build AI agents and extend Microsoft 365 Copilot Develop AI agents on Azure

Azure Decoded: Getting Ready for the Migrate & Modernize Summit

7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (UTC)

The Migrate & Modernize Summit is where Microsoft brings together the latest thinking on how to move faster on Azure — using AI‑powered, agentic approaches to modernize infrastructure, databases, and applications. In this Azure Decoded episode, you’ll get a sneak peek at what’s coming: the key themes you’ll hear across Summit keynotes and breakouts, the real‑world migration and modernization scenarios being spotlighted, and why this event matters if you’re planning your next move to Azure. We’ll also highlight the skilling opportunities connected to the Summit, including the Migrate & Modernize Foundations Virtual Training Day, so you’ll know how to get ready, what to focus on during the event, and how to turn what you learn into action afterward. What you’ll learn: What to expect at the Migrate & Modernize Summit — key themes like agentic AI, Azure Copilot, Azure Migrate, and modernization pathways across compute, data, and apps. How Microsoft approaches migration and modernization today — from assessment and planning to modernization, security, and optimization after the move. How to skill up before and after the Summit — including how the Migrate & Modernize Foundations VTD and learning paths help turn Summit insights into hands‑on capability. Explore the Learn Path

Azure Decoded: The Developer's Guide to AI Agents on Microsoft Foundry

8:00 PM - 9:00 PM (UTC)

Ready to build AI that actually does things? In this hands-on session, Aaron Stark walks you through creating your first AI agent using Microsoft Foundry—Microsoft’s unified platform for building, deploying, and managing AI applications. You’ll learn how to move beyond simple chat completions to agents that can reason, plan, and take action. We’ll cover the core concepts of agentic AI, explore Microsoft Foundry’s agent capabilities, and build a working agent live—from prompt engineering to tool integration to deployment. Whether you’re an AI-curious developer or already building with Azure OpenAI, this session gives you the practical skills to start building agents that can transform how your applications interact with the world. What you’ll learn: What makes an AI agent different from a chatbot Microsoft Foundry’s agent development capabilities How to design agent workflows with reasoning and tool use Connecting agents to external data and APIs Best practices for testing and deploying agents in production
