What Is This MicroHack?¶
Tip
TL;DR: Your team uses AI agents to go from business requirements to deployed Azure infrastructure in one day. 8 challenges, 105 base points, a surprise DR curveball midway through.
A team-based, 1-day hackathon where you orchestrate specialized AI agents to transform business requirements into production-ready Azure infrastructure. Instead of writing Bicep templates line by line, you'll collaborate with agents that understand Azure best practices — from requirements gathering through architecture design, code generation, and deployment.
