Architecture & Patterns

Reference architectures and design guidance for cross-solution agentic implementations. These patterns show how AIBS, CAIP, and Security work together at the architecture level.

Reference Architectures

📐 AI Agent Orchestration Patterns

Agent orchestration patterns from Azure Architecture Center — from single-agent to multi-agent systems. Covers sequential, concurrent, group chat, handoff, and magentic patterns for cross-solution agentic implementations.

📐 Agent Registry Convergence with Microsoft Agent 365

Explains how the previously separate Microsoft 365 and Entra agent registries converge into Microsoft Agent 365, and how discovery and inventory relate to Entra Agent ID for identity and access. Essential for designing governable multi-agent estates.

📐 Microsoft Agent 365 Integration with Foundry

Explains how Foundry agents connect to the Agent 365 control plane through registry sync, Entra Agent ID, governance, observability, and lifecycle management. It also identifies which agent types support registry, autopilot publishing, and activity collection.

📐 Building Agentic Apps with Microsoft Fabric and Databases (Build 2026)

Build 2026 guidance on grounding agents in enterprise data using Microsoft Fabric (Fabric IQ ontology) and Azure databases for retrieval and context. Shows partners how to ground agents in governed enterprise data, a common requirement for production RAG and agent scenarios.

📝 Compare declarative and custom engine agents

Compare declarative agents that extend Microsoft 365 Copilot with custom engine agents built around a separately managed runtime. Helps solution architects and developers choose an agent approach that fits their control and integration needs.
