Vendor: azure. Tracked by 1 of 5 sources.

What each source reports

**endpoint** = the provider's own machine-readable API, the strongest evidence. **provider docs** = the provider's own documentation, read by a model — first-party content, inferred reading. Unlabelled rows are third-party catalogs. Where sources disagree both values are shown rather than silently reconciled.
