AI Agent Microservices: Introducing the A2A Protocol for Enterprise Systems

Google Cloud has introduced the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, a standard designed to enhance communication between AI agents in enterprise systems. This protocol addresses interoperability issues by allowing agents to interact seamlessly, regardless of their underlying technology. The A2A standard utilizes an AgentCard, which details each agent's capabilities and schemas, promoting modularity and flexibility in AI system design. The architecture includes an Orchestrator agent that manages state, ensuring resilience and scalability. By adopting the A2A protocol, organizations can improve agent development, moving towards robust, interchangeable components suitable for production environments.
