Agent orchestration hosting

[rasmuschristensen]

I've been looking into orchestration as I have a project where more agents needs to collaborate in a sequential mode.

Initial plan was to make each agent run in its own azure function with a messages bus between. This would allow me to handle each agent isolated and tweak it, handle errors in DLQ and so on.

Now with the orchestration flows in preview, I'm not sure which way to proceed. It seems like the agents in orchestration also use some kind of messaging, but what is it actually underneath?

It sound a bit like durable functions, and I'm looking for som documentation around hosting and actually running this in a real project. I know it is still experimental but would like to give it a try.

Hi @rasmuschristensen,

Thank you for your post!

Could you let us know what agent you are using? Is it ChatCompletionAgent or some other types?

The new orchestrations do rely on a runtime that performs messaging underneath.
