Announcements

We’re committed to helping organizations simplify connectivity, modernize legacy systems, and unlock the full potential of AI-powered automation.

We’ve pulled together the top 25 announcements at Microsoft Build 2025 across the Azure business—spanning Azure AI Foundry, Azure infrastructure, Azure app platform, Azure databases and Microsoft Fabric, and our GitHub family.

Nobody wants a surprise when it comes to the bill, and this is where Microsoft Cost Management comes in.

This year, at Microsoft Build, we introduced new AI tools and capabilities designed to empower every software developer to become an AI developer.

This week at SAP Sapphire 2025 we are excited to share several new announcements and key strategic updates from Microsoft and SAP for our joint customers.

To help these AI agents become even more powerful and handle more complex tasks, they need state-of-the-art models, integrated tools, and built-in governance. At Microsoft Build 2025, we’re unveiling 10 innovations in Azure AI Foundry to make this possible.

Agentic DevOps is the next evolution in the software development lifecycle. Read how these AI agents help developers accelerate delivery and stay focused on high-impact work while remaining in control of the process.

In this blog, I’ll cover the latest slate of announcements across Microsoft Fabric and the entire Azure Data portfolio, designed to empower every developer on the planet to do more with data.

We have architected Microsoft Discovery to be highly extensible, enabling researchers to integrate the latest Microsoft innovations with their own models, tools, and datasets as well as a wide range of partner and open-source solutions.

Today, we’re excited to announce two major enhancements to model fine-tuning in Azure AI Foundry—Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT) with o4-mini, coming soon, and Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) for the 4.1-nano model, available now.

Agent2Agent can enable structured agent communication—exchanging goals, managing state, invoking actions, and returning results securely and observably. Developers can use tools they know, like Semantic Kernel or LangChain, and still interoperate.

We’re thrilled to announce the general availability of Azure Storage Actions, our fully managed platform that transforms how organizations automate data management tasks for Azure Blob and Data Lake Storage.
