AI Agents: Meet the Azure Cosmos DB vNext Emulator
Over a typical 2 day window, we record 10 times as many emulator sessions lasting more than 30 minutes for vNext as for the legacy emulator. Our bet is that agentic development is helping drive the difference! The appeal is straightforward: coding agents need a database they can run anywhere. They also need a database they can start, seed, test against and debug as they work. Our vNext emulator fits that workflow naturally. A different kind of developer With the vNext emulator, we're building for a broader idea of the developer: a person at a keyboard, a coding agent, or the two working together. The...
Vector stores in Agent Framework for Python: familiar foundations, streamlined for agents
Vector stores have been part of the Python experience in Semantic Kernel for some time. With Microsoft Agent Framework, we have ported that work forward rather than starting over. This post focuses on Python. For the .NET equivalent, see Use vector stores in .NET AI apps. The foundation remains familiar: typed record definitions, stores and collections, batch storage and retrieval, embedding generation, vector search, and a growing set of integrations. If you have used Semantic Kernel's vector-store APIs, you will recognize the overall model. At the same time, this is more than a straight p...
Canada’s 2026 time zone updates: guidance for Microsoft SQL
Affected locations in British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba will not turn their clocks back at 02:00 local time on November 1, 2026. They will remain at UTC−07:00, UTC−06:00, and UTC−05:00, respectively. Microsoft’s interim guidance for British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba describes the new Windows time zones and temporary workarounds.

Is it MSIX? Part 3: Find Package and Application Identity with TASKLIST and PowerShell
We previously determined how to programmatically retrieve a packaged process' package and application identity. Now let's find MSIX package identity using existing tools. TASKLIST.EXE Using the packaged app from our previous example, we know the "image name" (aka executable filename) and that its PID (process ID) is 7664. lists packaged processes and their package names: That's overkill when we're interested in a specific process. We can use the (filter) option to limit the output to our target process: Or we can specify the image name and get the same result: The column is actually the package fu...

Introducing the Native Confluent Cloud Connector Experience in Azure Cosmos DB!
Co-authored with Praveen Raja P Azure Cosmos DB already includes a powerful event foundation: change feed provides a durable, ordered record of item changes within each logical partition. It is ideal for reacting to operational data as it changes, building projections, and driving workflows directly from the database. Confluent Cloud adds a complementary event layer rather than replacing change feed. Kafka topics can carry database changes alongside explicit business events from many systems, retain them independently from the operational database, and let multiple consumer groups process and replay each s...
Dynamic Workflows in Azure Functions Hosted Skills: Durable, AI-Led Work for Event-Driven Apps

Try SqlClient’s new connection pool for faster parallel connections
You told us that applications using can take too long to establish the database connections they need. When many requests need connections at the same time, waiting for the connection pool to grow can delay application readiness and increase latency. This can happen even in common situations like querying several pieces of metadata during startup or receiving a burst of traffic after a quiet period. ’s new connection pool (Pool V2) is designed to address this problem by establishing new connections concurrently, allowing the pool to respond more quickly when multiple requests need new connections at the same tim...

Introducing WinDbg MCP: Debug with natural language, grounded in evidence
Debugging rarely starts with a clear answer. An app crashes, a service hangs, a driver fails, or a kernel dump offers few clues. Whether you’re working with a live target, crash dump, or Time Travel Debugging (TTD) trace, the first question is the same: Where do I start, and what should I investigate next? Today we’re introducing WinDbg MCP, a natural-language interface for WinDbg built on Model Context Protocol (MCP). It connects AI clients such as GitHub Copilot CLI and Visual Studio Code to an active WinDbg session, so you can investigate user-mode and kernel-mode crashes and hangs in plain language, groun...

Is it MSIX? Part 2: Finding Package Identity with APIs
We previously determined how to tell if a process is packaged or unpackaged using Task Manager. Now let's find its package and application identity in code. Windows provides APIs to retrieve package and application identity for a process: If you prefer WinRT: Kernel mode What about kernel mode? Nearly all MSIX APIs require a user-mode caller. The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) provides RtlQueryPackageIdentity() and RtlQueryPackageIdentityEx() for querying package identity from a token. Tools? What about tools to do the same?

From an Empty Folder to an AI Agent: Meet create-cosmos-agent
The first few minutes of a new AI project often feel productive. Create a chat endpoint, connect a model, send a prompt, and display the answer. Then the real questions arrive. Where should the agent store memory? How do we keep one customer's data away from another? How do we trace the source of an answer? What happens when an action requires approval? How do we test the application locally before creating cloud resources? And how do we move to Azure without rebuilding the project? Those questions inspired me to build create-cosmos-agent, an open-source CLI for creating production-oriented TypeScript AI...
If somebody tries to hot-patch an already-hot-patched function, how do they avoid conflicts?
Hot-patching is for Windows, not for you.
I’m the Only Developer on This Project. Do I Really Need RBAC?
You own the account, wrote the application, and would be the one fixing it if something broke. So role-based access control (RBAC) can sound like an answer to a problem you do not have: managing other people. You do not need RBAC for your app to function; account keys still work while key-based authentication is enabled. But for a live Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL project you intend to keep, identity-based access is the better default, even if you remain its only developer. The reason is not team size. It is reducing the secrets you maintain and giving your code only the access it needs. Neither benefit requir...
Why is there no Windows hot-patching support for other architectures like 32-bit ARM and MIPS?
They either predate hot-patching or never needed it.
Translating an Elasticsearch Search Request to Azure Cosmos DB
This tutorial shows how common Elasticsearch search requests can be expressed using Azure Cosmos DB query patterns. Some Elasticsearch capabilities map directly to Cosmos DB full-text search functions, while others require separate queries or application-layer handling. Each step shows the closest Cosmos DB pattern and explains what changes in the process. In Elasticsearch, one search request can return hits, highlights, and aggregation buckets together. In Azure Cosmos DB, it is clearer to separate those concerns: one query retrieves ranked results, separate aggregate queries calculate facets, and the applicat...

Genspark protects live agent sessions with Azure Cosmos DB Global Secondary Indexes
This article was authored by Justin Liu, co-founder and chief architect, Genspark. The work does not end when the prompt does A user comes to Genspark with a goal: research a market, build a presentation, produce a report, analyze a dataset, or complete another complex assignment. Our agents take it from there, working across tools, sources, and multiple steps until the user has a finished result. The request may fit in a sentence; the actual work of the request, though, rarely does. One assignment can involve repeated searches, decisions, tool calls, and revisions. Throughout the process, the agent relie...

Migrating Elasticsearch Mappings to Azure Cosmos DB
This post focuses on one of the most important design tasks when migrating from Elasticsearch to Azure Cosmos DB: translating an Elasticsearch mapping into Azure Cosmos DB container configuration. In Elasticsearch, a mapping defines how document fields are stored and indexed. Azure Cosmos DB is schema-agnostic, so there is no single mapping document to translate. Instead, distribute the mapping’s intent across the indexing policy, full-text policy, vector policy, and computed properties. The goal is not a line-by-line conversion. It is to preserve the query, filtering, ranking, and retrieval behavior that...
