By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer deploys a cross-cloud agent architecture where Microsoft Foundry hosts the master agent and owns the exchange-rate tool, while Google ADK acts as a thin client on Cloud Run. The setup uses A2A v1.0 over JSON-RPC with Microsoft Entra authentication, and the author measures the hop between us-central1 and eastus2. Four authentication and discovery issues surfaced that a green test suite missed.
