#Microsoft Foundry

A customer's Excel tracker became a testable app in 25 minutes. Here's how Copilot Studio, Cowork, code apps, and GitHub Copilot compare.

What Azure SRE Agent is, what setup actually looks like, and what happened when I pointed it at my own repo, my Application Insights telemetry across Dataverse, Copilot Studio, and Foundry, and then asked it for a health check on everything at once. Plus what connecting an incident platform buys you — autonomous mitigation, a verification loop, and a handoff straight to the GitHub Copilot coding agent — the five switches worth flipping that you don't get turned on by default, and what the newly published Zero Ops framework recommends, including the two governance layers above per-tool Allow and Ask and three details worth verifying against the current docs.

Foundry Canvas puts model selection, toolboxes, guardrails, testing, and deployment in a Copilot side panel while leaving you the actual agent code.

Disabling public network access removes the Foundry portal's Teams publish button. Here's the REST path that replaces it and the inbound design you now own.

The AI tools I use to design, ground, review, and ship vibe-coded projects, from Impeccable and Microsoft Foundry to MCPs and Power Platform Skills.

Field-tested lessons from shipping with AI: use plan mode, build reusable skills, choose models deliberately, and keep a reviewer in the loop.
