Why should you care?

Agents fail in production when configuration and observability are afterthoughts.

See it live — copy this example

Use .NET 8+. Run Semantic Kernel samples in a console or Web API. Keep API keys in user secrets or environment variables — never in source.

// Microsoft.Extensions.AI Overview
builder.Services.Configure<AiOptions>(builder.Configuration.GetSection("Ai"));
builder.Services.AddHttpClient("llm");
// Register agent services for: Microsoft.Extensions.AI Overview

What happened?

• Use IOptions and named HttpClient.
• Keep model endpoints out of hard-coded strings.

Practice next

1. Recreate the sketch in a .NET 8 console or Web API.
2. Connect a real or mock chat client.
3. Add one validation or auth check.
4. Tighten the prompt/tool description.
5. Log duration of the model call.

Remember

You can explain Microsoft.Extensions.AI Overview simply. You have a C# sketch to extend. You know one safety or ops risk.
