Claude Spend Finally Lands Under Your Foundry Resource in Azure Cost Management

If you run Claude models in Microsoft Foundry, you know the FinOps headache: the charges showed up under SaaS instead of the Foundry resource you deployed them with. Chargeback and budgets for AI workloads were harder than they needed to be.

That changes with this generally available release. Claude models now appear in Azure Cost Management alongside the rest of your Foundry spend, so usage is attributed to the Foundry resource used for the deployment. The update also brings tagging support for Claude in Foundry, which matters for slicing costs by team, project or environment.

One view of your Foundry costs, Claude included.
