SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires az, jq, python3, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Capacity planning for Azure OpenAI deployments is time-consuming and error-prone; this Skill automates cross-region capacity discovery and quota checks to guide deployment decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover capacity across all regions for a model version and SKU.
  • Cross-reference with existing AI Projects in the subscription to estimate deployment options.
  • Return a ranked table annotated with quota availability to guide hand-off to presets or customization.

Quick Start

Run the discovery script with a model name and version to generate a ranked region table of capacity and quota.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check Azure OpenAI quota and capacity availability across regions?

To check Azure OpenAI capacity, run the discovery script with a specific model name and version to query modelCapacities and subscription quota per region. It returns a ranked table comparing availability and existing AI Projects to guide your deployment planning.

What is the best way to find available Azure OpenAI regions for a specific model SKU?

The best way to find available regions is to automate cross-region capacity discovery. This script queries modelCapacities for a given model version and SKU, cross-references existing AI Projects, and ranks regions by quota availability to maximize deployment success.

Do I need Azure CLI and Python installed to automate OpenAI capacity discovery?

Yes, you need Azure CLI, Python 3, and jq installed to automate OpenAI capacity discovery. These dependencies are required to execute the scripts that query subscription quota, list AIProjects, and process the ranked region results.

How does cross-referencing AI Projects help with Azure OpenAI deployment planning?

Cross-referencing AI Projects helps deployment planning by estimating existing deployment options within your subscription. The script lists current AIProjects alongside regional quota checks, providing a complete view of available capacity before handing off to presets or customization.

Can I compare Azure OpenAI model capacities between regions before deployment?

Yes, you can compare Azure OpenAI model capacities between regions before deployment. The script generates a ranked results table annotated with quota availability and project counts, allowing you to evaluate and select the optimal region for maximum availability.
