2.4. Integrating Agents with Azure
💡 First Principle: Azure integration is where the managed defaults get replaced by your choices: your search index behind generative answers, your pick from the Foundry model catalog behind prompts, your telemetry pipeline behind operations. The agent stays a Copilot Studio agent; specific layers get upgraded in place.
This section is the Associate-level differentiator — Fundamentals candidates know the defaults exist; Associates know which layer to swap when a requirement outgrows them, and that the swap is always narrower than a rebuild. Three swaps are tested: answers grounded through Azure OpenAI on your search index (2.4.1), prompts running catalog models (2.4.2), and monitoring flowing to Application Insights (2.4.3).
