Mastering Microsoft Copilot for AI Architects: A Practitioner's Playbook for Building Multi-Agent Orchestration Systems on Azure and AWS Using GitHub (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181329232)

This book is for architects, senior developers, and technical leads who need to design, build, and govern AI systems on Azure and AWS using Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Semantic Kernel, and AWS Bedrock. Every pattern in this book meets real requirements of regulated industries: security, compliance, cost control, and operational stability.

What you will build across 13 hands-on labs:

• End-to-end RAG pipelines with Azure AI Search, hybrid search, semantic ranking, and automated RAGAS evaluation gates in CI/CD
• Multi-agent systems using Semantic Kernel, covering intent classification, agent handoffs, context pruning, and cost guardrails
• Custom GitHub Copilot Extensions that connect Copilot Chat to your internal tools and incident management systems
• Azure API Management as a governance gateway for OpenAI calls, covering rate limiting, key rotation, cost chargeback, and audit logging
• Multi-cloud AI pipelines using Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock together, with Terraform provisioning and private networking throughout
• Full MLOps for AI: prompt regression testing, RAGAS quality gates in CI/CD, and deployment gates that block on hallucination rates

Who this book is for:

• Developers moving from writing code with Copilot to designing systems built on Copilot
• Tech leads responsible for AI adoption, tooling decisions, and developer productivity programs
• Cloud and AI architects designing AI infrastructure for FinTech and regulated enterprise environments

What makes this book different:

Every statistic is cited with source and year. Every lab includes error handling, pinned dependency versions, and patterns appropriate for enterprise deployment. The productivity numbers are analyzed critically, including what they mean in regulated financial services environments where change management cycles reduce realized gains. No hype. No filler. No demos that stop at the whiteboard.
