Same models, enterprise wrapper

Azure OpenAI hosts OpenAI models — GPT-4-class chat models, embeddings, DALL·E, Whisper — inside your Azure subscription: regional data residency, private networking, Azure RBAC, and an SLA.

You never touch 'the model' directly. You create deployments: named instances of a model version with a throughput quota, and your app calls those.

Exam framing: 'data must stay in-region / private VNet / corporate identity' → Azure OpenAI, not the public OpenAI API.
