SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you discover available Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions and projects, ensuring that you can find the best deployment location for your specific requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capacity Discovery: Identifies available capacity for various Azure OpenAI models across all accessible regions and projects.
  • Quota Analysis: Compares availability with your subscription's quota limits.
  • Optimal Location Recommendations: Recommends the best regions and projects for deployment based on your capacity needs.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a model like gpt-4o, you can use this Skill to find regions with sufficient capacity.

Quick Start

Run the script 'discover_and_rank.ps1' with your model name, version, and minimum capacity target, e.g., './scripts/discover_and_rank.ps1 -ModelName gpt-4o -ModelVersion 2025-01-31 -MinCapacity 200'

FAQPage Schema
How do I find Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions before deployment?

Azure OpenAI capacity discovery analyzes accessible regions and projects to identify available model capacity, compares it against your subscription quota limits, and recommends optimal deployment locations based on your specified minimum capacity requirements.

Can I check Azure OpenAI quota limits and available capacity using Azure CLI?

Yes, checking Azure OpenAI quota limits requires Azure CLI for authentication and access to Cognitive Services resources. The discovery script analyzes regional model availability and compares it against your project quota limits to recommend deployment locations.

What is the best way to plan Azure OpenAI deployment locations for specific model versions?

The best way to plan Azure OpenAI deployment locations is to execute a capacity discovery script with your target model name, specific model version, and minimum capacity target. This analyzes regional availability and ranks optimal deployment locations for your infrastructure planning.

Do I need Azure CLI installed to discover Azure OpenAI model capacity?

Yes, Azure CLI is a required dependency for discovering Azure OpenAI model capacity. It handles authentication and provides access to Cognitive Services resources needed to perform region analysis, quota evaluation, and capacity discovery across projects.

Why does my Azure OpenAI model deployment fail due to insufficient regional capacity?

Azure OpenAI deployments fail due to insufficient regional capacity when target regions lack available resources or exceed subscription quota limits. Running a capacity discovery script beforehand identifies regions with sufficient capacity, preventing deployment failures and ensuring successful model provisioning.
