  • Deploying a multi-agent solution with MCP and A2A to Azure Container Apps

    In previous posts, we discussed multi-agent scenarios, how A2A servers work (here and here) and how to deploy the infrastructure to host a multi-agent application on Azure with Azure Container Apps and AI Foundry. In this post, we will take a look at deploying the different components of the solution as containers in Azure Container… Read more

  • Deploying AI Foundry Agents and Azure Container Apps to support an Agent2Agent solution

    Deploying AI Foundry Agents and Azure Container Apps to support an Agent2Agent solution

    In previous posts, I discussed multi-agent solutions and the potential use of Google’s Agent2Agent protocol (A2A). In this post, we will deploy the infrastructure for an end-to-end solution like follows: Here’s a short description of the components. Component Description Foundry Project Basic Foundry project with a private endpoint. The private endpoint ensures private communication between… Read more

  • Using tasks with streaming in Google Agent2Agent (A2A)

    Using tasks with streaming in Google Agent2Agent (A2A)

    In a previous post we created a simple A2A agent that uses synchronous message exchange. An A2A client sends a message and the A2A server, via the Agent Executor, responds with a message. But what if you have a longer running task to perform and you want to inform the client that the task in… Read more

  • Google’s A2A: taking a closer look

    Google’s A2A: taking a closer look

    In the previous post, I talked about options to build multi-agent solutions. The last option used Google’s A2A. A2A provides a wrapper around your agent, basically a JSON-RPC API, that standardizes how you talk to your agent. In this post we take a closer look at the basics of A2A with simple synchronous message exchange.… Read more

  • Building multi-agent solutions: what are your options?

    Building multi-agent solutions: what are your options?

    When we meet with customers, the topic of a “multi-agent solution” often comes up. This isn’t surprising. There’s a lot of excitement around their potential to transform business processes, strengthen customer relationships, and more. The first question you have to ask yourself though is this: “Do I really need a multi-agent solution?”. Often, we find… Read more

  • Building Configurable AI Agents with the OpenAI Agents SDK

    In this post, I will demonstrate how to build an AI agent system where agents can collaborate in different ways. The goal is to create agents that can either work independently with their own tools or collaborate with other agents through two distinct patterns: using agents as tools or handing off control to other agents.… Read more
