Event summary
- Zilliz Cloud BYOC is now available on Microsoft Azure, completing coverage across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

The big picture
Zilliz's expansion to Azure completes its strategy of providing a unified vector database solution across all major cloud platforms. This move addresses enterprise concerns about data control and compliance, positioning Zilliz as a key player in the AI infrastructure landscape. The ability to deploy within existing cloud environments reduces friction for AI adoption, particularly for organizations already invested in Azure's ecosystem. With over 10,000 organizations using Milvus, Zilliz is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for scalable vector search solutions.
