Claude in Microsoft Foundry is now generally available

Summary

Anthropic has made its Claude models generally available through Microsoft Foundry on Azure. The initial release covers Opus 4.8 and Haiku 4.5, allowing organizations to run these models inside their existing Azure tenants rather than through separate endpoints. Teams can apply the authentication, billing, and governance mechanisms already in place for other Azure workloads, reducing the need for new access policies or separate procurement processes.

Inference remains under Anthropic’s operational control, with the company acting as the data processor. Customers can select the geographic zone for processing, including a dedicated US data zone that supports data-residency requirements common in regulated industries. This arrangement keeps model execution within Azure’s infrastructure while preserving Anthropic’s responsibility for the underlying inference stack.

The offering includes prompt caching and extended thinking features intended to support longer, more complex enterprise workflows. By combining these capabilities with Azure’s established controls, product teams can deploy Claude models without duplicating security or compliance frameworks.

Why it matters

This update is highly relevant for Dutch product teams and builders utilizing Microsoft Azure, as it enables secure, enterprise-grade deployment of advanced Claude models. The integration with Azure's governance controls simplifies the product lifecycle and addresses data residency management, which is critical for EU compliance.
