AI Training / Microsoft Foundry

Platform training

Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Foundry)

Microsoft's Azure platform for building, evaluating and operating AI applications and agents.

Naming and scope note (checked October 2026). Azure AI Foundry was renamed Microsoft Foundry, effective with Microsoft's late-2025 announcements and January 2026 product terms. It was earlier called Azure AI Studio. Older documents, URLs and code samples still use the previous names.

Best fit: Azure-based organisations building AI applications and agents.
