Why should you care?

Buyers ask how agents fail over, respect GDPR, and share GPU budget — enterprise agent ops answer that.

See it live — copy this example

Paste into an ASP.NET Core 8+ / AgentNest project, then run with dotnet run (set your API keys in user-secrets).

// AgentNest.ControlPlane/AgentFleetRegistry.cs
public sealed record AgentDescriptor(string Name, string Version, HashSet<string> TenantIds, Uri HealthUrl);

public sealed class AgentFleetRegistry
{
    private readonly ConcurrentDictionary<string, AgentDescriptor> _agents = new();
    public void Register(AgentDescriptor d) => _agents[d.Name] = d;
    public IEnumerable<AgentDescriptor> ForTenant(string tenantId) =>
        _agents.Values.Where(a => a.TenantIds.Contains(tenantId) || a.TenantIds.Contains("*"));
}

What happened?

• AgentFleetRegistry tracks deployed agents, versions, and health URLs per tenant for routing and SLA monitoring.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Register each agent at startup with AgentFleetRegistry.
2. Expose /health on every agent service.
3. Dashboard tenant-to-agent mapping for support.
4. Add RiskTier to AgentDescriptor for change management.
5. Integrate registry with Azure Container Apps revisions.

Remember

Enterprise agents register in a fleet control plane. Track version, tenant scope, and health per agent. Plan HA and DR for agent workers and buses.

NOC monitors all AgentNest customer agents from one pane.

Outcome: AgentFleetRegistry feeds health dashboards and tenant support lookups.
