OpenAI models inside Microsoft Azure — enterprise compliance, your data, your region.
Azure OpenAI Service brings GPT, DALL·E, and embeddings into Azure with enterprise isolation, regional residency, and Entra ID — the same models behind Microsoft 365 Copilot, deployable in your own subscription.
Who it's for: Microsoft-centric enterprises that need OpenAI models with strict data, compliance, and region controls.
Deploy the latest OpenAI models with the same API, hosted in Azure regions.
SOC 2, HIPAA, and your data is not trained on — plus private networking.
Prompt, fine-tune, and evaluate models alongside the rest of Azure AI.
Text and image embeddings and image generation in one subscription.
Azure OpenAI is the obvious choice for Microsoft shops that want frontier OpenAI models under enterprise compliance. If you are not on Azure, the onboarding friction outweighs the benefits versus a direct OpenAI or other cloud account.
