This chapter covers advanced multi-agent architecture patterns, agent orchestration, and production-ready AI deployments for complex scenarios.

Validated against azd 1.23.12 in March 2026.

Learning Objectives

By completing this chapter, you will:

  • Understand multi-agent architecture patterns
  • Deploy coordinated AI agent systems
  • Implement agent-to-agent communication
  • Build production-ready multi-agent solutions

📚 Lessons

# Lesson Description Time
1 Retail Multi-Agent Solution Complete implementation walkthrough 90 min
2 Coordination Patterns Agent orchestration strategies 30 min
3 ARM Template Deployment One-click deployment 30 min

🚀 Quick Start

# Option 1: Deploy from a template
azd init --template agent-openai-python-prompty
azd up

# Option 2: Deploy from an agent manifest (requires azure.ai.agents extension)
azd extension install azure.ai.agents
azd ai agent init -m agent-manifest.yaml
azd up

Which approach? Use azd init --template to start from a working sample. Use azd ai agent init when you have your own agent manifest. See the AZD AI CLI reference for full details.
