# Anthropic as a subprocessor in Azure SRE Agent
13+
14+
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.
15+
16+
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.
17+
18+
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+
20+
> [!IMPORTANT]
21+
> 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.
22+
23+
> [!NOTE]
24+
> 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.
25+
26+
## How model selection works
27+
28+
You choose which AI provider powers your agent. The two options are:
29+
30+
- **Azure OpenAI**: Covered by EU Data Boundary commitments. The default for customers in the EU, EFTA, and UK.
31+
32+
- **Anthropic**: The default for all other regions. Not covered by EU Data Boundary commitments.
33+
34+
When you select Anthropic, your data (prompts, responses, and resource analysis) might be processed in the United States.
35+
36+
## Default settings by region
37+
38+
| Region | Anthropic | Azure OpenAI | Notes |
39+
|--------|-----------|--------------|-------|
40+
| **Most commercial regions**<br><br>(US, APAC, etc.) | Default | Available | No data residency restrictions |
41+
| **EU, EFTA, and UK** | Available (opt-in) | Default | Anthropic isn't covered by EU Data Boundary |
42+
| **Government clouds**<br><br>(GCC, GCC High, DoD) | Not available | Default | Anthropic isn't available in government or sovereign clouds |
43+
44+
## Verify the active model provider
45+
46+
To check which AI model provider your agent is currently using:
47+
48+
1. Go to the [Azure SRE Agent portal](https://sre.azure.com).
49+
1. Select your agent, and then go to **Settings**.
50+
1. Under **AI Model Provider**, view the active provider.
51+
52+
## Enable Anthropic in EU Data Boundary regions
53+
54+
If your organization is in the EU, EFTA, or UK and you want to use Anthropic:
55+
56+
1. Go to the [Azure SRE Agent portal](https://sre.azure.com).
57+
1. Select your agent, and then go to **Settings**.
58+
1. Under **AI Model Provider**, select **Anthropic**.
59+
1. Review the data residency notice and confirm.
60+
61+
> [!NOTE]
62+
> By selecting Anthropic, you acknowledge that your data might be processed outside the EU Data Boundary, including in the United States.
63+
64+
## Data handling
65+
66+
When you use Anthropic models in Azure SRE Agent:
67+
68+
- Anthropic processes data under Microsoft's direction and contractual safeguards.
69+
- 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.
70+
- Both Microsoft and Anthropic don't use your data to train AI models.
71+
- Your data is isolated by tenant and Azure subscription.
72+
73+
