Azure OpenAI
Azure OpenAI Service is Microsoft’s managed Azure cloud service for accessing OpenAI models through Azure-hosted deployments, APIs, infrastructure, and controls.
Generative AI in Action
Azure OpenAI on your data is a platform service that enables enterprises to run AI models over their organizational data with integrated scalability, security, and Azure-service connectivity.
- How it is used
- Positions Azure OpenAI as managed model access for enterprise applications and chat over organizational data.
- How deep it goes
- Explains service differences, model discovery, and data-source configuration, but does not detail the service’s internal implementation.
- Examples
- Uses a Python model-listing call and a blog-post data source connected through Azure AI Studio.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure it by inspecting available models, protecting credentials, and connecting a data source for chat.
Microsoft Azure in Action
Azure OpenAI Service is an Azure service that provides access to hosted OpenAI generative AI models through managed APIs and endpoints.
- How it is used
- Powers book recommendations and summaries by giving applications access to hosted language models.
- How deep it goes
- Walks through resource creation, model deployment, and an API request; leaves production integration at practical guidance.
- Examples
- Uses an 1984 customer review to request three similar books, alongside Azure CLI deployment and API-call examples.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure it with Azure CLI to create a resource, deploy a model, and send a prompt using az rest.
Spring AI in Action
Azure OpenAI is Microsoft's Azure-hosted service for accessing OpenAI models through Azure infrastructure and authentication.
- How it is used
- Provides Spring AI applications with Azure-hosted access to OpenAI models.
- How deep it goes
- Specifies the provider starter, API-key configuration, and deployment-name property without detailing Azure service internals.
- Examples
- Uses the Azure starter, an Azure API-key environment variable, and a GPT-4 deployment property.
- What you can do after
- Configure a Spring AI application to send prompts to a selected Azure OpenAI deployment.
