Azure Highlights from Microsoft Build

At the forefront is a new coding agent for GitHub Copilot, evolving from a mere pair programmer to a strategic teammate. This evolution enables developers to streamline code reviews and bug fixes, implementing full specs and focusing on high-value coding tasks.

Another game-changer is the Azure Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Agent, which facilitates root cause analysis and incident management. SRE Agent leverages the reasoning capabilities of LLMs to identify the logs and metrics necessary for rapid root cause analysis and issue mitigation. Its advanced AI capabilities transform incident and infrastructure management in Azure, freeing engineers to focus on more meaningful work.

Among the standout features, Azure AI Foundry expanded with new models like Grok 3 from xAI, FluxPro 1.1, and 10K- Hugging Face models. Azure AI Foundry Agent Service is now generally available, offering several new multi-agent capabilities that provide developers with powerful yet easy-to-integrate tools for building, orchestrating, and scaling multi-agent systems.

Microsoft Discovery, built on Azure, introduces an enterprise agentic platform that integrates AI for scientists and engineers. This platform supports continuous R&D cycles, enabling researchers to manage AI agents that learn and adapt over time, enhancing both reasoning and research activities.

SQL Server gets its biggest update in a decade. Now in public preview, SQL Server 2025 is designed to be an AI-ready enterprise database platform, integrating seamlessly from ground to cloud to Fabric. New features empower developers, protect data, and enable seamless analytics through Microsoft Fabric integration.

The new Digital Twin Builder enables businesses to bridge their physical and digital worlds, creating an AI-ready foundation for their operations. It simplifies the creation and management of data-driven digital twins at scale, enabling users to understand system-wide connections and create unparalleled insights and operational efficiency.

New offerings, such as Project Amelie, Microsoft’s first Foundry autonomous agent, can build fully validated ML pipelines with detailed evaluation metrics, trained models, and ready-to-use, reproducible Python code from a single prompt.
