Using A2A to Achieve Your Business Goals: Part One
Camunda’s blog outlines how the open‑source Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol can be embedded in BPMN‑based processes to enable reliable, auditable communication between heterogeneous AI agents. It explains Camunda’s three A2A connectors—client, polling and webhook—and when each fits a deterministic service task or a dynamic agent sub‑process. The post also details governance features such as structured agent cards, signed messages, and built‑in audit trails. Finally, it provides a decision rule to help architects choose between deterministic and exploratory implementations based on predictability and compliance requirements.
