Cloud platforms.
Rented computing from Microsoft, Amazon and Google, where most business AI actually runs.
What it is.
- Microsoft Azure offers Microsoft Foundry, with models from OpenAI, Anthropic and others in one place.
- AWS offers Amazon Bedrock, with models including Anthropic's Claude through one service.
- Google Cloud offers its Gemini models and others through its Vertex AI platform.
Why it matters to you.
- All three have data centres in Sydney and Melbourne, which helps keep your data in Australia.
- You pay for what you use, with security and backups included, instead of running your own servers.
- Pick the one that fits the software you already use. Microsoft 365 businesses usually start with Azure.
