 prerequisites: |
   Before starting this module, you should be familiar with fundamental AI concepts and services in Azure. Consider completing the [Get started with AI applications and agents on Azure](/training/paths/get-started-ai-apps-agents) learning path first.
 summary: |
-  Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more functional and accessible, and AI agents are a key component of this evolution. This learning path will help you understand the AI agents, including when to use them and how to build them, using Microsoft Foundry Agent Service and Microsoft Agent Framework. By the end of this learning path, you will have the skills needed to develop AI agents on Azure.
+  This learning path is deprecated and being maintained to support existing learners. For the latest training on AI agent development, see the replacement [Develop AI agents on Azure](/training/paths/develop-ai-agents-azure/) learning path.

+### When to use augmented security rules
+
+A single network security group rule can contain multiple values in the Source, Destination, and Service fields. This approach, called augmented security rules, reduces the total number of rules needed and simplifies NSG management. 
+
+**Things to know about augments security rules**
+
+- **Multiple IP addresses**: Combine multiple IP addresses into one rule.
+  
+- **Multiple port ranges**: Specify multiple ports and ranges in the Service field.
+  
+- **Service tags and ASGs**: Mix service tags, application security groups, and IP addresses within the same rule.
+  
+- **Reduced rule count**: Instead of creating separate rules for each IP range or port, combine them into fewer, more manageable rules.
+  
+In enterprise environments with many IP ranges or services, augmented rules prevent NSG rule sprawl. For example, instead of creating four separate rules for ports 80, 443, 8080, and 8090, create one rule with all the ports.
