To use Azure AI services, you create one or more Azure AI resources in an Azure subscription and implement code in client applications to consume them. In some cases, AI services include web-based visual interfaces that you can use to configure and test your resources - for example to train a custom image classification model using the **Custom Vision** service you can use the visual interface to upload training images, manage training jobs, and deploy the resulting model.

> You can provision Azure AI services resources in the Azure portal (or by using BICEP or ARM templates or the Azure command-line interface) and build applications that use them directly through various service-specific APIs and SDKs. However, as we'll discuss later in this module, in most medium to large-scale development scenarios it's better to provision Azure AI services resources as part of an Azure Foundry *hub* - enabling you to centralize access control and cost management, and making it easier to manage shared resource usage based on AI development *projects*.

### Single service or multi-service resource?
2525

2626
Most Azure AI services, such as **Azure AI Vision**, **Azure AI Language**, and so on, can be provisioned as standalone resources, enabling you to create only the Azure resources you specifically need. Additionally, standalone Azure AI services often include a free-tier SKU with limited functionality, enabling you to evaluate and develop with the service at no cost. Each standalone Azure AI resource provides an endpoint and authorization keys that you can use to access it securely from a client application.

Alternatively, you can provision a multi-service **Azure AI services** resource that encapsulates the following services in a single Azure resource:

- Azure OpenAI

- Azure AI Translator

Using a multi-service resource can make it easier to manage applications that use multiple AI capabilities.

Azure AI hub resources support advanced AI development scenarios, like developing Prompt Flow based applications or fine-tuning models. You can also use Azure AI hub resources in both Azure AI Foundry portal and Azure Machine learning portal, making it easier to work on collaborative projects that involve data scientists and machine learning specialists as well as developers and AI software engineers
