As we celebrate Pride Month, I find myself reflecting on the voices and journeys of employees across the LGBTQIA+ communities of Microsoft who continue to shape our innovation and culture with expertise, authenticity, courage, and heart. In The Code of Us campaign, colleagues offer reflections that are both personal and playful—childhood dreams, tech pathways, and how they make decisions with both logic and compassion. Their voices, like so many others, reflect the energy and connection that make this community so impactful. I invite you to take a moment to explore their perspectives and connect with more stories all month long from across the Microsoft community: https://lnkd.in/gTSGHJtN #PrideAtMicrosoft #MicrosoftLife

In recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, Microsoft celebrated with the theme of Evolution and Resilience—a tribute to the adaptability, strength, and cultural richness of AAPI communities around the world. We acknowledge the distinct cultures and ethnicities of employees whose personal histories are connected to countries and communities across Asia and the Pacific. Through storytelling, innovation, and community engagement, Microsoft continues to uplift and empower these voices. #MicrosoftCareersAsia

Exciting datacenter news at Microsoft Build! This week at Microsoft Build, it was great to see our CEO Satya Nadella and Scott Guthrie (EVP of Cloud + AI) talk about our commitment to offer the lowest cost, highest-scale infrastructure for cloud and next-generation AI workloads as well as the innovations powering Microsoft Azure. 🔹 70+ Azure Regions: Microsoft now leads with over 70 Azure regions worldwide, expanding datacenter capacity and optimizing for AI. In the last three years, we’ve doubled datacenter capacity, and this year alone, we’ll add more capacity than any other year in history. 🔹 AI Optimized Datacenters: Our new AI datacenters run the most advanced AI supercomputers, enabling more intelligent AI models at lower costs. 🔹 Advanced AI Systems: Microsoft Azure was the first to bring online NVIDIA GB200s, the most advanced GPUs in the world, providing unparalleled AI training and inferencing platforms. 🔹 Networking: Our AI Datacenter operates as one contiguous interconnected cluster of hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200s, supported by a hyper-optimized network. 🔹 Liquid Cooling: Our AI systems use liquid cooling to efficiently manage heat, ensuring optimal performance and sustainability. These are highlights of the work being accomplished among our amazing teams at Microsoft. I want to give a huge thank you to every person who has worked tirelessly to make these advancements possible. It has truly been a OneMicrosoft effort! #MicrosoftBuild #Azure #AI #Innovation #Sustainability #TechLeadership #datacenters

GitHub Copilot now has a coding agent embedded right where you already collaborate with developers: on GitHub. And yes, you can access it from VS Code too. 🤖 When you assign one or more issues to Copilot, it responds with a 👀 reaction and spins up a secure sandbox using GitHub Actions. It clones the repo, configures the environment, and analyzes the codebase with RAG powered by GitHub code search. The coding agent can use local tools and MCP servers, configured by you. As the agent works, it regularly commits its changes to a draft pull request and updates the pull request’s description. It can only push to its own branch, while existing policies like branch protection still apply in exactly the way you’d expect. And of course, nothing goes out without human approval – because the human developer is always the one in control. Using state-of-the-art models, the agent excels at low-to-medium complexity tasks in well-tested codebases, from adding features and fixing bugs to extending tests, refactoring code, and improving documentation. This is all about keeping you in the magical flow state that inspired your love for coding in the first place ✨ Built around an integrated, secure and fully customizable development environment powered by GitHub Actions, the Copilot coding agent is amplifying human developers with trust by design. And these protections aren’t just for us: as the new home of AI agents, we’re making the same primitives available to partners to ensure an open ecosystem for agentic peer programming. https://lnkd.in/et-K4-S6
