Azure Copilot Agents Simplify Azure Operation, Optimization

• Azure Copilot is enhanced with agents that reduce the effort and skill level required for operations performed by administrators and developers.
• Migration, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and other Azure operations are eased with a natural language interface.
• An included optimization agent could help customers reduce Azure spend.
• Azure Copilot is in private preview; additional costs, which are likely, haven’t been announced.

The Azure portal has had a Copilot for more than a year, but it has not addressed all areas of Azure operation. A revamped Azure Copilot more thoroughly addresses all application life-cycle areas, but it relies on a fledgling agent architecture that is yet to be proven reliable.

Six Agents, One Chat UI

Azure Copilot, in private preview, is a chat UI primarily accessed in the Azure portal, although it is also available in PowerShell and the Azure command-line interface (CLI). Azure Copilot can be accessed in a new Azure portal UI called Operations Manager. (For an illustration, see “Azure Operations Center Centralizes Access to Life-cycle Management Services.”)
