Building Resilient Durable Agents with Microsoft Agent Framework

AI agents can reason, collaborate, and act - but what happens when an agent workflow runs for hours, encounters a failure, requires human approval, or must survive an application restart? In this session, you’ll learn how Azure Durable Functions, Azure Durable Task Scheduler, and Microsoft Agent Framework work together to provide a resilient foundation for production-grade agent systems. We’ll begin with a brief introduction to Microsoft Agent Framework, then explore how Durable Agents and Durable Workflows apply durable execution patterns to long-running, distributed, and multi-agent applications. Through practical demonstrations, you’ll see how to recover from failures, manage long-running workflows, and observe execution across a distributed system. We’ll also use.NET Aspire and Azure Durable Task Scheduler to create a streamlined local development experience and deploy an agent solution built to run reliably at scale on Azure.
