In Nov 2024, we announced Data Zones on Azure OpenAI Service. Today, we’re excited to expand that support to Azure OpenAI Service Batch. Data Zone Batch deployments. They enable you to utilize Azure’s global infrastructure to dynamically route traffic to data centers within the Microsoft- defined data zones, ensuring optimal availability for each request. 

 Azure OpenAI Data Zones is a new deployment option that provides enterprises with even more flexibility and control over their data privacy and residency needs. Tailored for organizations in the United States and European Union, Data Zones allow customers to process and store their data within specific geographic boundaries, ensuring compliance with regional data residency requirements while maintaining optimal performance. By spanning multiple regions within these areas, Data Zones offer a balance between the cost-efficiency of global deployments and the control of regional deployments, making it easier for enterprises to manage their AI applications without sacrificing security or speed.
