# Microsoft Foundry

> Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Foundry) is a unified Azure platform-as-a-service for enterprise AI operations, model builders, and application development. It combines production-grade infrastructure with friendly interfaces for building agents, deploying models, and developing generative AI applications.

## Key Information

**Portal**: https://ai.azure.com

**SDK Installation**:
```bash
pip install azure-ai-projects azure-ai-agents azure-identity
```

**Authentication Pattern**:
```python
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.ai.projects import AIProjectClient

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = AIProjectClient(
    endpoint="https://<resource>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project>",
    credential=credential
)
```

**Environment Variables**:
```bash
AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project>
AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=gpt-4o-mini
```
