# Anthropic as a subprocessor in Azure SRE Agent
12+
13+
Azure SRE Agent supports multiple AI model providers for investigations, incident response, and operational automation. Anthropic is one of the available providers and operates as a Microsoft subprocessor.
14+
15+
Anthropic operates under Microsoft's oversight with contractual safeguards and technical and organizational measures in place. The Microsoft [Product Terms](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms) and [Microsoft Data Protection Addendum (DPA)](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/view/Microsoft-Products-and-Services-Data-Protection-Addendum-DPA) apply when you use Anthropic models through Azure SRE Agent.
16+
17+
For more information about subprocessor data access, see [Microsoft Data Access Management](https://www.microsoft.com/trust-center/privacy/data-access). For a list of all Microsoft subprocessors, see the [Service Trust Portal](https://aka.ms/subprocessor).

19+
> [!IMPORTANT]
20+
> Anthropic models in Azure SRE Agent aren't covered by Microsoft's [EU Data Boundary](/privacy/eudb/eu-data-boundary-learn) commitments. When you select Anthropic, your data (prompts, responses, and resource analysis) might be processed in the United States.
21+
22+
> [!NOTE]
23+
> For customers in the EU, EFTA, and UK, Azure OpenAI is the default provider. Anthropic is available as an opt-in choice. Anthropic isn't available in government clouds (GCC, GCC High, DoD) or sovereign clouds.
24+
25+
## How model selection works
26+
27+
You choose which AI provider powers your agent. The two options are:
28+
29+
- **Azure OpenAI**: Covered by EU Data Boundary commitments. The default for customers in the EU, EFTA, and UK.
30+
31+
- **Anthropic**: The default for all other regions. Not covered by EU Data Boundary commitments.
32+
33+
When you select Anthropic, your data (prompts, responses, and resource analysis) might be processed in the United States.
34+
35+
## Default settings by region
36+
37+
| Region | Anthropic | Azure OpenAI | Notes |
38+
|--------|-----------|--------------|-------|
39+
| **Most commercial regions**<br><br>(US, APAC, etc.) | Default | Available | No data residency restrictions |
40+
| **EU, EFTA, and UK** | Available (opt-in) | Default | Anthropic isn't covered by EU Data Boundary |
41+
| **Government clouds**<br><br>(GCC, GCC High, DoD) | Not available | Default | Anthropic isn't available in government or sovereign clouds |
42+
43+
## Verify the active model provider
44+
45+
To check which AI model provider your agent is currently using:
46+
47+
1. Go to the [Azure SRE Agent portal](https://sre.azure.com).
48+
1. Select your agent, and then go to **Settings**.
49+
1. Under **AI Model Provider**, view the active provider.
50+
51+
## Enable Anthropic in EU Data Boundary regions
52+
53+
If your organization is in the EU, EFTA, or UK and you want to use Anthropic:
54+
55+
1. Go to the [Azure SRE Agent portal](https://sre.azure.com).
56+
1. Select your agent, and then go to **Settings**.
57+
1. Under **AI Model Provider**, select **Anthropic**.
58+
1. Review the data residency notice and confirm.
59+
60+
> [!NOTE]
61+
> By selecting Anthropic, you acknowledge that your data might be processed outside the EU Data Boundary, including in the United States.
62+
63+
## Data handling
64+
65+
When you use Anthropic models in Azure SRE Agent:
66+
67+
- Anthropic processes data under Microsoft's direction and contractual safeguards.
68+
- The [Microsoft DPA](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/view/Microsoft-Products-and-Services-Data-Protection-Addendum-DPA) and [Product Terms](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms) apply.
69+
- Both Microsoft and Anthropic don't use your data to train AI models.
70+
- Your data is isolated by tenant and Azure subscription.
71+
72+
