 Azure OpenAI provides customers with choices on the hosting structure that fits their business and usage patterns. The service offers two main types of deployment: **standard** and **provisioned**. Standard is offered with a global deployment option, routing traffic globally to provide higher throughput. Provisioned is also offered with a global deployment option, allowing customers to purchase and deploy provisioned throughput units across Azure global infrastructure. All deployments can perform the exact same inference operations, however the billing, scale and performance are substantially different. As part of your solution design, you will need to make two key decisions:
 
-- **Data residency needs**: global vs. regional resources  
+- **Data processing needs**: global vs. regional resources  
 - **Call volume**: standard vs. provisioned
