Creating and deploying Azure OpenAI in Azure AI Foundry involves several steps. Here’s a detailed guide to help you get started:

Step 1: Create an Azure OpenAI Resource

  1. Sign in to Azure Portal: Go to the Azure portal and sign in with your Azure subscription.

  2. Create a Resource: Select “Create a resource” and search for “Azure OpenAI”. When you locate the service, select “Create”.

  3. Fill in the Details:

    • Subscription: Choose your Azure subscription.
    • Resource Group: Select an existing resource group or create a new one.
    • Region: Choose the region where you want to deploy the resource.
    • Name: Provide a descriptive name for your Azure OpenAI resource.
    • Pricing Tier: Select the pricing tier (currently, only the Standard tier is available).

  4. Configure Network Security:

    • Network Type: Choose whether all networks, selected networks, or no networks can access this resource.
    • Virtual Network: Specify the virtual networks that are permitted access.
    • Subnets: Specify the subnets that are permitted access.
    • Firewall: Configure address ranges or private endpoints.

  5. Review and Create: Confirm your configuration settings and select “Create”. The Azure portal will notify you when the new resource is available.

Step 2: Deploy a Model in Azure AI Foundry

  1. Sign in to Azure AI Foundry: Go to the Azure AI Foundry portal and sign in.
  2. Choose Subscription and Resource: Select the subscription and the Azure OpenAI resource you created.
  3. Deploy Model: Follow the prompts to deploy your model. You can use pre-built models or customize your own.

Example Configuration

Here’s an example of how you might configure your Azure OpenAI resource using the Azure CLI:

az group create --name myResourceGroup --location eastus
az cognitiveservices account create --name myOpenAIResource --resource-group myResourceGroup --kind OpenAI --sku S0 --location eastus --api-properties "{'networkAcls': {'defaultAction': 'Deny', 'virtualNetworkRules': [{'id': '/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourceGroups/myResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/myVnet/subnets/mySubnet'}]}}"
