Use A2A to Connect Agents Across Different Frameworks and Teams
Google Cloud and IBM Research have launched a short course on the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, an open standard now overseen by the Linux Foundation. A2A simplifies cross‑framework agent communication by defining discovery, client‑server interactions, and lifecycle management. The hands‑on curriculum guides learners through building a healthcare multi‑agent system using ADK, LangGraph, and BeeAI, and shows how A2A complements the MCP data‑integration layer. Instructors from Google and IBM lead the program, which is available for enrollment now.
