Building AI applications means running demanding workloads on the right hardware, at scale, without adding operational drag.
This session covers what's new in AKS for teams building and running AI apps and agents, and how the latest capabilities help you get more out of your infrastructure while keeping day-to-day operations manageable.
You'll learn how to: - Run AI and data-intensive workloads across a wider range of accelerators, with better visibility into how they perform and where you can tune them - Scale multi-service and agentic applications across clusters and fleets, with more efficient access to the compute you need - Automate upgrades, rollouts, and configuration across your estate with more control and less risk - Connect AKS to the broader Azure AI stack to move from model to production faster, with identity and security built in Whether you run a single cluster or a large fleet, you'll leave with a clear picture of where AKS is headed for AI workloads and how to put these new capabilities to work.

![Working With Your Data, Safely: Files, Approvals and Memory
So far the agent can talk about markets but cannot touch anything of yours, and nothing stops it doing something it should not. This episode fixes both. We give it file access so it reads a real portfolio.csv and writes its reports back to disk, then put a place_trade tool behind an explicit human approval.
Approving every single read gets old fast, so we add auto-approval rules for the safe calls and one custom rule that clears small trades on its own. We finish with durable memory in two forms, the files the agent curates itself and the facts Foundry extracts automatically, and watch both survive a restart.

![Azure SRE Agent and App Modernisation with GitHub Copilot
In this episode of New Breakpoint, Michelle Sandford sits down with Nirmal Thewarathanthri to explore how Azure SRE Agent thinking can help teams move beyond application migration and into reliable, governed operations.
Together, they discuss how agent-first workflows can support application modernisation by tackling common operational challenges such as reliability debt, configuration drift, security and compliance requirements, unclear ownership, remediation processes, and human-approved change management.
The episode explores:
- Why app modernisation extends beyond code migration
- Applying SRE practices to day-2 operations
- Detecting and remediating operational drift
- Building policy-aware, auditable workflows
- Keeping humans in the loop for critical approvals
- Enabling collaboration across platform, application, and SRE teams
If youre looking to understand how Azure SRE Agent can support modern application operations at scale, this episode is a practical place to start.
