 ## Updating API versions
 
 We recommend first testing the upgrade to new API versions to confirm there's no impact to your application from the API update before making the change globally across your environment.

 ## Provisioned
 
 Provisioned deployments allow you to specify the amount of throughput you require in a deployment. The service then allocates the necessary model processing capacity and ensures it's ready for you. Throughput is defined in terms of provisioned throughput units (PTU) which is a normalized way of representing the throughput for your deployment. Each model-version pair requires different amounts of PTU to deploy and provide different amounts of throughput per PTU. Learn more from our [Provisioned throughput concepts article](../concepts/provisioned-throughput.md).

+## Global standard
 
 Global deployments are available in the same Azure OpenAI resources as non-global offers but allow you to leverage Azure's global infrastructure to dynamically route traffic to the data center with best availability for each request.  Global standard will provide the highest default quota for new models and eliminates the need to load balance across multiple resources.
