Connecting Microsoft Azure to Promptitude can unlock powerful AI capabilities for your business. In this article, we’ll explore what Microsoft Azure is, its benefits, and the differences between Azure OpenAI and Models-as-a-Service.
We’ll also guide you through adding AI connections with Azure OpenAI and integrating models using Serverless Inference.
Let’s dive in!
What is Azure AI?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform developed by Microsoft. It offers a wide range of services, including, Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Azure allows businesses to build, deploy, and manage applications through Microsoft’s global network of data centers, providing a robust and flexible environment for your needs.
🔹 Benefits for Enterprises
Strong Security and Compliance: Azure offers advanced security features like encryption, threat intelligence, and role-based access control, ensuring your data is protected.
Scalability and Flexibility: You can easily scale resources up or down based on your business needs, allowing you to handle growth or seasonal changes without overspending.
Cost Control: Pay only for what you use, making it easier to manage your budget.
Difference between Azure OpenAI and Models-as-a-Service
When connecting Azure to Promptitude, you’ll encounter two primary options: Azure OpenAI and Models-as-a-Service. Here’s how they differ:
1️⃣ Azure OpenAI
Integration: Azure OpenAI is designed for enterprise environments and is tightly integrated with Azure’s ecosystem. This means it works seamlessly with Azure tools, management, security, and compliance features.
Best Suited For: If you plan to use only OpenAI models, Azure OpenAI is the way to go. It provides a comprehensive suite of capabilities specifically for these models.
2️⃣ Models-as-a-Service
Flexibility: Models-as-a-Service allows you to deploy various models without consuming compute quotas from your Azure subscription. Instead, you’re billed per token in a pay-as-you-go manner.
Best Suited For: If you need to use a single model from a specific provider (excluding OpenAI), this option is ideal. It offers a straightforward way to access different models without the overhead of managing infrastructure.
