Hosted Agents in Foundry Agent Service

🔹 Feature: Hosted Agents in Foundry Agent Service
🔹 What It Does: Run your containerized AI agents on Microsoft-managed, agent-optimized infrastructure — simply bring your code, and Foundry handles the rest.

What Is It Giving You:

✅ Bring Your Own Code: Package any framework — Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK, or OpenAI Agents SDK — into a container and deploy effortlessly.
✅ Per-Session Sandboxes: Enjoy hypervisor-level isolation with a persistent filesystem ($HOME and /files), allowing stateful session resumes.
✅ Scale to Zero: Pay nothing while idle; cold starts are predictable when sessions spin up again.
✅ Dedicated Agent Identity: Each agent receives its own Entra Agent ID and endpoint, ensuring no shared service accounts and a full audit trail.
✅ Enterprise Ready: Includes VNet integration, DLP policies, Responsible AI guardrails, OpenTelemetry-based observability, and built-in AI Red Teaming.
✅ Multi-Protocol: Expose Responses and/or Invocations endpoints from the same container to integrate seamlessly with Copilot, Teams, or custom applications.
