In episode 269 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about the Model Context Protocol being used on the SAP Business Technology Platform.A few months ago we had my colleauge Alice on the show who introduced a tool that would allow you to convert an OData service in an MCP, a Model Context Protocol, server. Since then we had many more talks and we could see a lot of projects popping up that used this idea to create new MCP servers. The benefit are obvious: OData and MCP are a match made in heaven. What is often described has a shortcoming of OData -- its chattyness and too much information -- is a huge benefit in MCP, where you need a good description of the various tools. One other project that caught not only mine, but the attention of the whole SAP community is the OData MCP bridge on BTP, the SAP Business Technology Platform. To share us more about this project, the AI Data Enabler, I am happy to have Wouter, Tom and Marian with us today. Welcome to our show.

#326: Microservices architecture has evolved far beyond simple distributed systems, but most development teams are still rebuilding the same foundational patterns over and over again. Mark Fussell, co-founder of Dapr and Diagrid, explains how his team at Microsoft identified this repetitive reinvention problem and created a solution that abstracts away the complexity of service discovery, messaging, state management, and security while providing true cloud portability. Dapr emerged from Microsoft's Azure incubations team with a clear mission: stop forcing developers to rebuild distributed systems patterns from scratch. The runtime provides standardized APIs for common microservices needs while allowing teams to swap underlying infrastructure components without changing application code. Whether using Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, or cloud-native messaging services, developers write against consistent APIs while platform teams maintain control over infrastructure choices. The conversation covers Dapr's journey from Microsoft internal project to CNCF graduated status, the technical decisions behind its multi-language approach, and how it integrates with existing frameworks like Spring Boot and .NET. Mark also discusses Diagrid's platform play around durable workflows and the emerging role of Dapr in AI agent development. Darin and Viktor explore the practical adoption challenges, the balance between developer productivity and platform engineering concerns, and why experienced developers tend to embrace abstraction layers more readily than those building their first distributed systems.   Mark's contact information: X: https://x.com/mfussell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mfussell/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Canisius and Bill dug into the whole on-prem vs cloud debate through the lens of AI, pointing out that massive compute needs and generative models pretty much force serious work into the cloud, with most operators moving to a hybrid setup rather than pure on-prem or multi-cloud. They spent a lot of time on trust, encryption, and data ownership, stressing that customer data stays isolated, is not used to train models unless you opt in, and that Microsoft's job is to be the secure, scalable platform while companies like Collide handle the oil and gas specific workflows and “last mile” value. They also hit on why “we already have Azure and Copilot” is not the same as having a purpose-built solution, why a single-cloud plus good governance usually beats juggling multiple hyperscalers, and closed with a look ahead to a world where agents manage other agents and AI is wired into everyday work across legal, operations, and the field.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

In today's Cloud Wars Agent and Copilot Minute, I break down why this Microsoft-Anthropic-NVIDIA trio, spotlighted at Microsoft Ignite, may define the next phase of the AI Revolution.Highlights00:19 — Today, I want focus on a particularly significant partnership involving not one but three partners, collaborating in multiple ways across various fronts. The companies are Microsoft, of course, Anthropic, and NVIDIA. The trio is set to establish new strategic partnerships that, in my view, truly optimize the unprecedented era of collaboration that we're in01:02 — Anthropic has committed to a $30 billion deal to purchase Azure compute capacity. Microsoft customers will have access to Anthropic Claude Sonnet, 4.5; Claude Opus 4.1; and Claude Haiku 4.5 models. NVIDIA and Anthropic will collaborate on the design and development required to further optimize Anthropic AI models.01:48 — In terms of hard-dollar investments in Anthropic, NVIDIA is committing up to $10 billion, while Microsoft is committing up to $5 billion. Now, I find this whole announcement particularly exciting. These two giants — Microsoft and NVIDIA — are directly investing in the technological and financial future of Anthropic. However, it's far from one-sided, as both are also selling their products to Anthropic. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

L'IA conversationnelle, l'arrivée des agents intelligents et leur intégration profonde dans Windows 11 transforment l'usage du PC, entre gain de productivité, sécurité renforcée et protection des données personnelles.Interview : Xavier Perret, Directeur Cloud Azure & IA, Microsoft FranceL'IA devient la nouvelle interface : qu'est-ce que cela change pour les utilisateurs ?L'IA transforme profondément la manière dont on interagit avec nos appareils. Comme le dit Satya Nadella, AI is the new UI. Concrètement, sous Windows 11, la barre de tâches devient un point d'entrée intelligent : plus besoin d'ouvrir l'application adéquate, je lui parle directement. Je peux lui demander de configurer mon PC, diagnostiquer un souci, lancer un agent de recherche ou créer un document. Et avec les nouveaux PC équipés de NPU, l'IA peut travailler en tâche de fond : je délègue une synthèse, une enquête documentaire, et pendant ce temps je fais autre chose. On entre dans un modèle beaucoup plus naturel et productif, pour les particuliers comme pour les entreprises.Pourquoi cette nouvelle génération d'agents IA est-elle plus pertinente ?Nous sommes arrivés à un stade de maturité où les agents ne se contentent plus de converser : ils agissent. Ce qui manquait auparavant, c'était l'ancrage dans le contexte. Aujourd'hui, grâce à des technologies comme Microsoft Fabric ou WorkIQ, on réconcilie données structurées et non structurées pour offrir une compréhension beaucoup plus fine. Les agents deviennent spécialisés et adaptés aux usages réels. Je me suis par exemple créé un agent dédié à la randonnée sur plusieurs jours : il calcule mes itinéraires, dénivelés, temps de marche… un vrai assistant expert. Cette pertinence change tout dans l'adoption.Comment garantir la sécurité, la confidentialité et éviter les dérives ?La confiance repose sur plusieurs piliers. D'abord, la sobriété des données : n'utiliser que ce qui est nécessaire. Ensuite, un cadre clair : les données des clients restent leurs données et restent en Europe, dans des infrastructures conformes comme Azure avec ses régions européennes. Mais l'enjeu majeur d'aujourd'hui, c'est l'observabilité : s'assurer que les agents font bien ce qu'on leur demande, pouvoir vérifier, auditer, détecter un jailbreak, ou une tentative malveillante. Nous intégrons désormais des gardes-fous natifs, y compris des IA qui surveillent les IA, au sein de plateformes comme Foundry. Et nous insistons sur un point : ne pas tomber dans la surconfiance. Un agent reste faillible ; il aide, mais il ne remplace pas le jugement humain, surtout dans les décisions à impact.Ces évolutions sont-elles déjà accessibles ?Pour beaucoup, oui. Certaines capacités de Windows 11 sont déjà disponibles, et les nouveaux PC avec NPU débloquent encore plus de scénarios. Les outils liés à Fabric ou à WorkIQ existent déjà dans les entreprises. Nous ne parlons pas d'une technologie futuriste à 5 ans : c'est un mouvement en cours, que chacun peut commencer à explorer dès maintenant à travers Copilot et les nouveaux agents IA.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

פרק מספר 505 של רברס עם פלטפורמה - באמפרס מספר 89, שהוקלט ב-13 בנובמבר 2025, רגע אחרי כנס רברסים 2025 [יש וידאו!]: רן, דותן ואלון (והופעת אורח של שלומי נוח!) באולפן הוירטואלי עם סדרה של קצרצרים מרחבי האינטרנט: הבלוגים, ה-GitHub-ים, ה-Claude-ים וה-GPT-ים החדשים מהתקופה האחרונה.

In today's Cloud Wars Agent and Copilot Minute, I look at how screen-aware Copilots, task-based agents, and multimodal interfaces are reshaping enterprise work — and why identity, permissions, and access guardrails now matter more than ever.Highlights00:30 — Two experts, Brian Madden, Vice President and Field Technology Officer and Futurist at Citrix, and Marco Casalaina, Vice President of Products, Core AI and an AI Futurist at Microsoft, hosted a session at this year's Microsoft Ignite conference titled “Develop Your Enterprise Playbook to Prepare for the AI of Tomorrow.”00:58 — I want to share some key takeaways. Madden laid out a seven-stage roadmap for human–AI collaboration. Steps included simple prompt and paste, the first introduction to AI; next, AI as an analyst for colleagues; followed by AI watching your screen; AI using your computer for you; AI using your computer without you watching; multi-agent AI communication; and the final step: AI-orchestrated work.01:55 — Ultimately, AI needs to work where human knowledge workers work, because the world we live in today is built for humans, and the way that AI will succeed is by operating within this user space and emulating humans in practice. Users talk to AI, and AI talks to the applications and workflows on behalf of the user.02:34 — The discussion moved on to the notion of apps dissolving into data, ultimately AI talking directly to the data without going through an application. Casalaina demonstrated this by running Anthropic's Claude on Azure and giving it the skills to create a PowerPoint. It did — without using PowerPoint. It made the slides in HTML and then converted them without ever opening the PowerPoint application. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Microsoft has launched Agent 365, a management platform designed for overseeing AI agents within enterprise environments. This platform, now available in early access, includes features such as the Microsoft Entra Registry for managing agent identities, risk-based access policies, and performance measurement tools. The introduction of Agent 365 signifies a shift towards integrating AI agents into standard business operations, allowing organizations to manage both Microsoft-built and third-party AI agents in a unified system. This development is part of a broader trend where AI governance and customer expectations are becoming increasingly critical for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).In conjunction with the launch of Agent 365, Microsoft has formed strategic partnerships with NVIDIA and Anthropic to enhance access to Anthropic's Cloud AI model, which will be scaled on Microsoft Azure. Anthropic has committed to purchasing $30 billion in Azure compute capacity, indicating a significant investment in cloud infrastructure. This partnership will allow Microsoft Foundry customers to access various versions of Anthropic's AI models, further solidifying Microsoft's position in the AI landscape. The implications of these partnerships extend to the operational costs and strategies of organizations that rely on AI, as the control of compute resources becomes a central factor in AI deployment.Additional announcements from Microsoft Ignite include new AI capabilities for Windows 11 and enhancements to Office applications, which will introduce free AI features aimed at improving user productivity. Vendors such as NinjaOne, Pax8, and Nerdio have also announced integrations and initiatives to align with Microsoft's evolving ecosystem, focusing on improving visibility, compliance, and modernization of virtual desktop infrastructure. These developments reflect a concerted effort by various companies to integrate more deeply into Microsoft's cloud and AI frameworks.For MSPs and IT service leaders, these advancements underscore the necessity of adapting to a rapidly changing technological landscape. The introduction of AI agents and the associated governance requirements will demand that MSPs develop frameworks for managing AI behavior and expectations. As AI features become standard in widely used applications, MSPs will need to address client expectations regarding AI functionality and reliability. The consolidation of media narratives around cybersecurity also highlights the importance of maintaining a balanced perspective on technology strategy, ensuring that MSPs focus on comprehensive solutions that address a range of client needs beyond just security. Three things to know today 00:00 Microsoft Signals Shift to an “Agentic OS” as Microsoft Deepens Anthropic Partnership and Expands AI Across Windows and Microsoft 36507:29 Ignite Highlights Vendor Rush Into Microsoft's Orbit, Raising Questions About MSP Differentiation and Over-Standardization11:57 CyberRisk Alliance Buys ChannelPro — and Shifts the MSP Storyline Toward Security This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

How can Azure Site Reliability Engineering Agents help your Azure infrastructure? While at Techorama in Utrecht, Richard chatted with Deepthi Chelupati about the LLM service that helps you build and maintain more reliable applications and infrastructure in Azure. Deepthi talks about monitoring deployment problems, handling errors in production, and application telemetry in operation as areas where Azure SRE Agents can help catch issues earlier and let you respond faster. The conversation dives into the array of capabilities and where you can provide information to administrators so they can decide how to proceed—perhaps pushing information to development or starting a recovery process of some kind.
