 # Transition to Azure OpenAI provisioned deployment reservations
 
-Azure introduced new Global and Managed Area (Data Zone) provisioned deployment reservations for Azure OpenAI. These new options provide more flexibility and scalability, allowing you to access the models you need and scale Provisioned Throughput Units (PTUs) to support usage growth. Additionally, Microsoft announced lower hourly prices and smaller deployment minimums for the new deployment types, although the prices for monthly and yearly reservations remain unchanged.
