In our second session of the Python + MCP series, we're deploying MCP servers to the cloud! We'll walk through the process of containerizing a FastMCP server with Docker and deploying to Azure Container Apps, and also demonstrate a FastMCP server running directly on Azure Functions.

Then we'll explore private networking options for MCP servers, using virtual networks that restrict external access to internal MCP tools and agents.

In our third session of the Python + MCP series, we're exploring the best ways to build authentication layers on top of your MCP servers. That could be as simple as an API key to gate access, but for the servers that provide user-specific data, we need to use an OAuth2-based authentication flow.

MCP authentication is built on top of OAuth2 but with additional requirements like PRM and DCR/CIMD, which can make it difficult to implement fully. In this session, we'll demonstrate the full MCP auth flow, and provide examples that implement MCP Auth on top of Microsoft Entra.

Join us for the official kickoff of the AKS Automatic Hackathon, a four-week virtual challenge designed to empower developers to build intelligent, scalable, and cloud-native solutions using AKS Automatic and other Azure services.

Whether you're new to Kubernetes or a seasoned cloud-native builder, this session will walk you through:
- 🔍 What AKS Automatic is and why it matters
- 🛠️ Hackathon structure, timeline, and deliverables
- 🎯 Judging criteria and prize details
- 📚 Resources to help you get started---from GitHub repos to technical docs
- 💬 Live Q&A with the product and engineering teams

This is your chance to go hands-on with AKS Automatic, solve real-world problems, and showcase your work to the Azure community. Let's build the future---together.
