integrationsGetting a new AI vendor approved inside a large organization is often slower than building the integration itself. Procurement, security review, a new contract to negotiate, all before a single API call gets made. TimeGPT is now available through Microsoft Foundry, external link, which changes that path for Azure customers: deploy it inside your own Azure subscription, get billed as standard Azure consumption, and skip the separate vendor review since Microsoft has already vetted it as part of listing the model. For practitioners, nothing about the API changes. You're using the same TimeGPT you already know; it's just faster to get approved and deployed.https://www.nixtla.io/blog/timegpt-azure-marketplace
