As part of this partnership, Palantir will deploy its suite of products, including Foundry, Gotham, Apollo, and AIP, in Microsoft Azure Government and in the Azure Government Secret (DoD Impact Level 6) and Top Secret clouds.

This integrated solution will enable operators to safely and responsibly build AI-driven operational workloads across Defense and Intelligence verticals, from logistics to contracting, prioritization, and action planning.

The bootcamps will be designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the platform’s capabilities and how it can be used to support a wide range of use cases.

According to the companies, this partnership will help to accelerate the adoption of AI and analytics in the US government. By providing a secure and compliant platform, Microsoft and Palantir are making it easier for government agencies to leverage the power of AI and analytics to support their missions.
