Reference CI/CD pipelines for Microsoft Foundry agents with evaluation-driven gates
Updated May 22, 2026

How It Works
Implements an enterprise-ready CI/CD reference for Microsoft Foundry AI agents, with parallel GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines. Enforces evaluation-driven quality gates and controlled promotion across Dev, Test, and Production to prevent risky agents from reaching production. Includes YAML pipeline examples and hooks for automated evaluation and responsible-AI checks.
Why It Matters
As agent deployments scale, automated checks and controlled promotion are essential to maintain agent reliability and safety across environments. That reference ties continuous agent evaluation into deployment pipelines so evaluation signals (performance, safety, regressions) become gating criteria rather than after-the-fact metrics. That makes agent track records and reproducible promotion decisions first-class parts of the release flow, aligning with consensus evaluation.
Ideal For
Platform and DevOps teams building and promoting Microsoft Foundry agents who need reproducible, evaluation-based promotion across Dev/Test/Prod and robust tool-use patterns to integrate into pipelines.
Real-World Examples
- Automating pre-production evaluation and gating for new agent versions
- Standardizing promotion workflows across Dev, Test, and Production with reproducible checks
- Integrating responsible-AI and security checks into agent release pipelines
