Microsoft, Thursday, November 5th, 2026
The Microsoft Foundry extension for Azure Developer CLI reached 1.0 GA for setting up, testing and deploying hosted agents.
The Microsoft Foundry extension bundle for Azure Developer CLI (azd) has reached version 1.0 and is generally available.
It adds agent setup and local testing to azd, which provisions Azure resources and deploys code, keeping agent and deployment configuration in azure.yaml alongside the code.
Hosted agents in Foundry run a developer's own agent code on managed compute.
The walkthrough requires azd 1.37.0 or later, uv and Python 3.13, and shows initializing a Python Agent Framework sample, provisioning resources and model deployments, and optionally ejecting Bicep or Terraform files.
