Open source is the foundation for AI and, as AI workloads scale, developers need that foundation to be more secure, more predictable, and easier to build apps and agents.
Conductor is an open-source CLI (MIT license, Microsoft org) that takes a different approach: you define your multi-agent workflows in YAML, and the routing between agents is deterministic. Jinja2 templates and expression evaluation handle conditions and branching. The orchestration layer consumes zero tokens. The structure is fixed at definition time—and that's the point.
Postgres can handle intelligent workloads and scale without sacrificing security, performance, reliability, or operational ease.
In 2018 we (re)-open-sourced MS‑DOS 1.25 and 2.11, and more recently in 2024 we were able to make the source for MS‑DOS 4.0 available to the public as well. Today, on 86-DOS 1.00’s 45th anniversary, we’re continuing that tradition with the earliest DOS source code discovered to date.
How Microsoft uses AI agents and Drasi to keep open‑source documentation accurate and working.
Microsoft unveils the Agent Governance Toolkit to bring OS‑level security, trust, and compliance to autonomous AI agents.
At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, we're making announcements that reflect the goal of bringing the operational maturity of Kubernetes to today's workloads and demands.
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s (CNCF) Hyperlight project delivers faster, more secure, and smaller workload execution to the cloud-native ecosystem.
Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office (OSPO), Team Xbox, and Activision are making Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III available under the MIT License.
From improving reliability and performance to advancing security and AI-native workloads, our goal remains the same: make Kubernetes better for everyone.
DocumentDB Kubernetes Operator enables you to deploy and manage open-source DocumentDB on Kubernetes. Simplify cloud-native database operations today.
GitHub Copilot and VS Code teams are sponsoring open-source MCP projects that push the boundaries of developer experience, agent autonomy, and more.
Drasi turns one with GQL support—giving developers more ways to build change-driven systems.
