Get ready for the Workshop

This workshop is hands-on and fast-paced. You'll build a complete AI-powered agent using Microsoft Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry - from setup to deployment, integration, and monitoring. To keep things smooth and productive, we ask that you prepare your laptop, tools, and environment in advance. Completing these prerequisites will ensure you can fully participate in all labs without delay.

💻 1. Laptop

• Bring a laptop with Windows 10/11 or macOS
• Ensure you have admin permissions to install software

⚙️ 2. Software to install (before the Workshop)

• Azure CLI
• Postman
• VS Code
• VS Code Extensions:
  • Bicep
  • Azure CLI Tools

🌐 3. Azure subscription (get before the Workshop)

• An Azure subscription (you can start a free trial here)

We recommend using a dedicated Azure subscription (trial version is sufficient) to experiment without impacting corporate environments

• Ensure that you have the Owner role assigned at the Subscription level (follow this guide to assign the role)

• Ensure the Machine Learning quotas is available

To check Machine Learning quotas:

• Navigate to the Azure Quotas page
• Select Machine Learning provider
• Select your Azure subscription
• Select France Central region
• Look for available quota for D-series VMs (at least 6 cores should be available)
• Request a quota increase if needed. Click the pencil icon to initiate a quota increase request if you find the quota is insufficient.

If you receive a resource provider error:

• Go to Subscription > Resource Providers
• Register Microsoft.Quota and Microsoft.Compute
• Wait a few minutes, then retry quota check

4. 🛡️ Power Platform

• A Microsoft 365 tenant (any Microsoft 365 license is sufficient; you can register for a 1-month Business Basic Trial here)

• Power Platform Developer Plan (you can start the Power Apps Developer Plan here)

• Dataverse-enabled environment (follow this guide to create it)

• Assign the System Administrator role (follow this guide to assign the role)

• Get access to Copilot Studio (you can follow this guide to sign up for a trial)
