AI Agent Governance: Microsoft Azure's Solution to Containing Costs

As artificial intelligence (AI) agents become increasingly integrated into enterprise environments, governing their spend and optimizing costs becomes a critical challenge for IT leaders.

The issue is not just about tracking expenses; it's about understanding how AI agents behave in production and making data-driven decisions to contain consumption.

Microsoft Azure's Foundry platform addresses this challenge by providing real-time visibility into AI costs, enabling teams to set spend limits at every layer, and proving the return on investment (ROI) of these agents.
