Microsoft Foundry launches hosted AI agents globally
Microsoft has made its hosted AI agents within the Foundry platform generally available. This enables easier deployment of AI solutions for enterprises worldwide.
Vad har hänt
Microsoft has announced that its hosted agents within the Foundry platform, part of Azure AI Foundry, have reached General Availability (GA). Initially presented during Microsoft Build in June 2026, the solution offers a managed execution environment for AI agents supporting various frameworks, languages, and models, with support for Python 3.13 and 3.14 as well as .NET 10.
Key facts
| Lansering av GA | Juni 2026 (presenterades Microsoft Build) |
|---|---|
| Språkstöd | Python 3.13, 3.14, .NET 10 |
| Tillgängliga regioner | Över 20 Azure-regioner globalt |

”Microsoft just made deploying AI agents roughly as complicated as ordering coffee.”
Varför det spelar roll
The availability of hosted AI agents reduces the complexity of deploying enterprise AI solutions. By providing sandbox environments, auto-scaling, and built-in observability, developers can focus on agent development rather than infrastructure management. This accelerates the development and implementation of AI-driven applications.
Vem påverkas
This primarily affects AI developers and enterprises utilising the Microsoft Azure platform. Companies investing in AI applications can benefit from simplified deployment. Users of applications built on this technology may indirectly experience faster innovation and enhanced functionality.
EU-status
The service is available in over 20 Azure regions globally, including regions within the EU. This means European companies and developers can utilise hosted agents supported by Microsoft's infrastructure within EU borders. While specific EU regions are not named in the source, global availability is confirmed.
Mer att veta
Microsoft Foundry will integrate Teams and M365 Copilot into AI agents starting July 2026, broadening the scope of use. Pricing is based on a container usage model.
