SUMMARY:Foundry for Builders: MCP\, Knowledge & Workflow Orchestration
DESCRIPTION:🛠️ Production Is Not Analytics: Understanding Microsoft Fabric’s Role\n⚙️ Modern production systems are built to process transactions\, enforce business rules\, and scale reliably.\n📊 Analytics systems are built to explore data\, aggregate it\, and turn it into insight.\n\nMicrosoft Fabric exists to cover this second space — with a unified\, end-to-end technology stack.\n\n🔧 In this session\, we’ll focus on Microsoft Fabric as a platform\, with a concise overview of:\n\n 	🗄️ How Fabric stores and organizes data beyond application databases\n 	🔄 How ingestion\, transformation\, and orchestration are handled\n 	📈 How analytics\, reporting\, and exploration are built on top of the same foundation\n 	🧩 How Fabric’s workloads are designed to work together as a single system\n\n🧠 Conceptual context will be kept to the minimum necessary to understand why these components exist\, with the emphasis placed on what they do and how they are used in practice.\n\n🎯 This session is aimed at developers who want a clear\, technology-oriented understanding of Microsoft Fabric and its role next to production applications — without turning into a data platform deep dive.\n🛠️ Foundry for Builders: MCP\, Knowledge & Workflow Orchestration\nMicrosoft Foundry introduces a new agent-first way of building AI applications — combining reasoning\, knowledge\, tools\, and workflows into a single\, composable platform.\n\n🚀 In this session\, we explore Foundry from a builder’s perspective\, focusing on how things actually fit together after the Ignite announcements — using the new Foundry UI and APIs.\n🔹 What you’ll see\n\n 	🧠 Knowledge-based Agent (RAG)\nBuild an agent backed by Foundry Knowledge to answer domain questions using retrieval-augmented generation.\n 	🔌 MCP-powered Agent\nUse a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to securely access an Azure SQL Database — without embedding schemas or credentials in prompts.\n 	🔀 Intent-based Workflow Orchestration\nImplement a workflow that detects user intent and routes each request to the correct agent\, showing how workflows act as the control plane for multi-agent systems.\n\n🎯 Why this matters\n\n 	Clear separation between knowledge\, actions\, and reasoning\n 	Practical patterns for multi-agent architectures\n 	Designed for scalable\, governed\, production-ready AI solutions\n\nBy the end of the session\, you’ll understand how to structure agents\, MCP tools\, and workflows in Microsoft Foundry — and how to apply these patterns to real-world builder scenarios.
