Two talks on what cloud and AI work costs once it is actually running.
Dieter Gobeyn asks what an agent actually costs: token economics in Microsoft Foundry, designing for cost control before you ship, and when not to build an agent at all. Jaseetha Satkurunathan covers multi-tenant Kubernetes - keeping customers isolated on a shared cluster instead of standing up one cluster per customer.
Hosted by the Northern Azure User Group at Morson Edge in the Bonded Warehouse. The published agenda lists different talk titles from the speaker billing, so check the page nearer the date.
both talks are about the bill and the blast radius rather than the demo, which is the part most Azure content skips. Best for platform engineers, architects and anyone who owns a cloud budget.
