Welcome back to Sip and Sync with Azure! Priyanka Vergadia is joined once again by Krystal Folkes to show how GitHub Copilot’s Agent Mode + Vision can take an existing architecture diagram and generate the full AKS, Bicep, and multi-region DR setup you need – straight from VS Code.
You’ll see them paste a slide of a Java microservices app running on Azure Container Apps into the chat, ask Copilot to re-platform it to Azure Kubernetes Service, and watch as Agent Mode collaborates like a true peer programmer: understanding context, proposing an implementation plan, creating directories, and writing the infrastructure code you approve.
What You’ll Learn
How Agent Mode elevates Copilot from pair programmer to collaborative teammate
Using Vision in Copilot Chat to parse architecture images or Figma designs
Automated migration from Container Apps to multi-region AKS clusters
Generating Bicep/IaC, validating files, and gating changes for compliance
Best practices – AI enhances productivity but YOU own security and governance
