Azure Compute Fleet, a new service designed to simplify Azure provisioning, is also among the cloud infrastructure updates unveiled at Microsoft's Build 2024 event in Seattle.
Apart from expanding its partnership on Azure’s AI and other cloud services, the investment will see Microsoft President Brad Smith join the board of G42.
Infrastructure enhancements targeting AI workloads include updates to compute hardware, new Nvidia GPU offerings, and storage optimization.
Other updates to the service includes new racks, Apigee integration, and survivability features.
The new managed service is designed for render management tasks for teams creating computer-generated 2D or 3D graphics, and visual effects.
As part of its extended collaboration with AWS, GCP, Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle, the chip designer will share its new Blackwell GPU platform, foundational models, and integrate its software across platforms of hyperscalers.
Google has already made a similar move, and other cloud service providers, such as Microsoft, IBM and Oracle, are expected to follow suit to satisfy regulators in the UK and Europe.
Broadcom acquired the end-user computing business when it finalized its $69 billion acquisition of VMware in November of last year.
