Core components include the Microsoft Agent Framework SDK, Agent Governance Toolkit, and integrations with Ray and NVIDIA Dynamo. Microsoft also reaffirmed supply chain security investments via OpenSSF, Alpha-Omega, and the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, while highlighting three consecutive years as the largest public cloud contributor to CNCF projects. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
