Small, practical labs exploring Platform Engineering for AI-native systems on Azure.
Public reference and learning project - not a commercial product.
Author: Michał Smyk
Umbrella repository for shippable labs - build, learn, document, share. Each lab stands alone; the repo grows as learning progresses.
Platform patterns first (identity, IaC, CI/CD, observability); agents and MCP are workloads on that foundation. Labs ship runnable reference paths on Azure; the portable idea is the pattern, not a mandate for those exact services.
Status: two labs at Demoable v1 - more ship as learning progresses.
| Lab | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted Agents | Demoable v1 | Azure AI Foundry Hosted Agents infrastructure lab - platform foundation for AI workloads with Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Microsoft Foundry. |
| MCP on Azure | Demoable v1 | MCP on Container Apps + Entra - platform vs user tool identity (deny demo), VNet/PE, ephemeral up/down via Actions. Acceler8it 2026 follow-up. |
More labs will appear here as they ship. Each stands alone; the repo grows with learning, not upfront scaffolding.
