Notable: Added "Microsoft Azure, which provides cloud infrastructure for all Anthropic products (Worldwide)."

That is significant for us. We have already accepted the risk of using Microsoft Azure so we use GitHub Copilot for that reason.

We have Claude disabled at the moment but if Anthropic has moved over to Azure then we can consider to start using it.

"Accepted the risk", just in case people don't know, is a compliancy term. I don't mean that Azure is risky.

		> I don't mean that Azure is risky. Depending on the company and their sector, people will nod in approval, or start laughing. My company also accepted the risk of using Microsoft. We have a "data sharing agreement" together, with very powerful magical words. Compliance people are happy and sleep well.

Microsoft 365 Copilot has enabled Claude models, and I imagine they want that running on Azure?

	▲	jadbox 10 hours ago \| parent [-]
		Likely. MS doesn't like using models that are not hosted by them internally (see VSCode Copilot)

Hopefully it goes better for them than it has for GitHub.

hope in one hand and do something in the other to see which one fills up faster. hoping is always a strained good idea, but hoping on Azure really strains credulity

Ahh now it is clear why so many outages lately. Solid choice.

When you host a solid model on terrible infrastructure, the infrastructure wins

There you go. So when Azure has an outage, so will Anthropic (and Github).

Now expect both of them to have unstable uptime and outages every week.
