Introduction to A2A servers

AI Refinery now supports the integration of agents exposed over the A2A protocol and allows them to collaborate in teams under the AIR orchestration and seamlessly communicate their outputs to the AIR. The A2A protocol is an open standard that enables AI agents to communicate, share capabilities, and coordinate tasks seamlessly, without requiring custom integration for each interaction.

Hosting of A2A Servers

A2A servers can be hosted in various environments, ranging from local machines to cloud platforms. The hosting environment dictates the infrastructure requirements and accessibility.

Hosting Environments:

  • Local Machine: Suitable for development, testing, and small-scale deployments. Requires minimal setup but limits accessibility.
  • Cloud Platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure): Provide scalability, reliability, and accessibility. Requires cloud account setup and resource provisioning.
  • Containerized Environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes): Enables consistent deployments across different environments and simplifies scaling.

Exposure of A2A Servers

A2A servers typically expose their functionality through HTTP/HTTPS protocol, allowing clients to interact with the server using standard HTTP requests. For more information, check out the original A2A protocol repo.
