According to Satya Nadella on Twitter, Microsoft introduced Hosted agents in Foundry that give each AI agent a dedicated enterprise-grade sandbox with durable state, built-in identity, governance, and support for any framework (source: Satya Nadella; original details: Microsoft Developer Blog). As reported by the Microsoft Developer Blog, the Foundry Agent Service provides secure, scalable compute for agents, enabling persistent memory, policy-enforced identities, and standardized orchestration that can plug into existing MLOps and DevSecOps workflows (source: Microsoft Developer Blog). According to Microsoft’s post, enterprises can isolate agent workloads per tenant and per agent, integrate RBAC and audit logging, and run custom harnesses, reducing operational risk while accelerating deployment of agentic applications like autonomous customer support and workflow automation (source: Microsoft Developer Blog). For businesses, this creates clear opportunities to standardize agent lifecycle management, ensure compliance through built-in governance, and scale multi-agent systems across teams with predictable performance and cost controls (source: Microsoft Developer Blog).
