Azure Copilot Observability Agent Turns Alerts Into Governed Operations Workflows

Azure Copilot Observability Agent Turns Alerts Into Governed Operations Workflows

Azure Copilot Observability Agent is easy to misread as another “AI summarizes your logs” launch. That would be the cheap version of the story. The more important signal is that Microsoft is trying to redefine the unit of cloud operations: not the alert, not the dashboard, not the ticket, but

Microsoft’s Water Numbers Show the Hidden Constraint Behind Azure AI Scale

Microsoft’s Water Numbers Show the Hidden Constraint Behind Azure AI Scale

Microsoft’s latest water-stewardship post is easy to misfile as sustainability communications. Do not. It is an Azure AI infrastructure story with fewer model names and more physics. The numbers are the hook: Microsoft says average datacenter water use effectiveness improved by nearly 90% since early datacenter generations, falling from

Copilot CLI GA Makes the Terminal an Agent Workbench, Not Just a Prompt Box

Copilot CLI GA Makes the Terminal an Agent Workbench, Not Just a Prompt Box

GitHub’s new Copilot CLI terminal interface is generally available, and the least interesting thing about it is that it has tabs. The interesting part is what those tabs imply: the terminal is becoming an agent workbench where GitHub context, MCP servers, skills, plugins, hooks, custom agents, approvals, and repo

Copilot BYOK Turns GitHub’s App Into a Model-Routing Front End for Azure OpenAI and Foundry

Copilot BYOK Turns GitHub’s App Into a Model-Routing Front End for Azure OpenAI and Foundry

Bring-your-own-key support in the GitHub Copilot app sounds like a settings-page feature. It is not. It is GitHub quietly turning Copilot’s standalone app into a front end for whatever inference estate an engineering organization has already approved: Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Foundry, Anthropic, local models, private OpenAI-compatible gateways, and the

SharePoint Copilot Apps Move Microsoft 365 Copilot Past the Chat Box

SharePoint Copilot Apps Move Microsoft 365 Copilot Past the Chat Box

Microsoft’s new SharePoint Copilot Apps announcement is easy to misread as another Microsoft 365 extensibility feature. It is more interesting than that. This is Microsoft quietly admitting that the “chat is the app” era was always going to hit a wall inside real companies. Language is a good entry

GitHub Copilot’s JetBrains Update Turns the IDE Into an Agent Console

GitHub Copilot’s JetBrains Update Turns the IDE Into an Agent Console

GitHub’s latest Copilot update for JetBrains IDEs looks, at first glance, like a bundle of product checkboxes: custom agents, Claude provider preview, steering controls, debug summaries, model picker improvements, cloud agent GA, and a per-turn AI credits indicator. Read it again. This is GitHub turning the IDE into an

Microsoft Agent Framework’s ‘Claw’ Series Turns Agent Architecture Into Reviewable Infrastructure

Microsoft Agent Framework’s ‘Claw’ Series Turns Agent Architecture Into Reviewable Infrastructure

Microsoft’s latest Agent Framework tutorial is framed like a friendly “build your own claw” walkthrough. The branding is whimsical; the engineering problem is not. What Microsoft is really publishing is a reference shape for the thing most agent demos quietly hand-wave: the harness that keeps a model loop from

Microsoft’s 2GW Pecos Datacenter Is the AI Capacity Story Builders Cannot Ignore

Microsoft’s 2GW Pecos Datacenter Is the AI Capacity Story Builders Cannot Ignore

Microsoft’s newest Azure AI announcement is not a model, a benchmark, or another Copilot button in a product that already had three. It is a 2-gigawatt datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas — and that makes it one of the more honest AI stories of the month. The AI stack has

Microsoft Foundry’s APIM Pattern Makes the AI Gateway Boring Enough for Production

Microsoft Foundry’s APIM Pattern Makes the AI Gateway Boring Enough for Production

Enterprise AI architecture keeps rediscovering an old truth: the hard part is not calling the model. The hard part is calling the right model, from the wrong region, under the right identity, without punching a hole through your network model or your compliance story. Microsoft’s new guidance on cross-region

Copilot Finally Exposes Per-User AI Credit Burn. Now Teams Can Stop Guessing Which Agent Workflows Are Expensive

Copilot Finally Exposes Per-User AI Credit Burn. Now Teams Can Stop Guessing Which Agent Workflows Are Expensive

Copilot’s credit meter has finally moved from accounting fog to something engineering teams can actually inspect. GitHub added ai_credits_used to the Copilot usage metrics API, giving enterprise administrators and organization owners a per-user view of AI credit consumption across one-day and 28-day user reports. That sounds like
