Microsoft Agent Framework: Deterministic Multi-Agent Orchestrations with .NET Durable Functions

This article explores how to build deterministic multi-agent orchestrations using Microsoft Agent Framework in .NET with Durable Functions. It addresses the non-deterministic nature of the 'agent-as-orchestrator' pattern by placing orchestration logic in a Durable Functions orchestrator, ensuring same input leads to same path for auditing, retries, and replay. The example uses a weekend planner with two agents: a weather assessor and an itinerary planner, demonstrating deterministic branching based on weather conditions. The post includes code snippets for agent registration and naming, building on previous posts about hosting agents on Azure Functions.
