SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Finding an Azure region with enough available capacity and subscription quota to deploy an Azure OpenAI model is a manual, error-prone process involving multiple REST API calls and quota lookups. This Skill automates that discovery and ranks candidate regions so you can pick a deployment target with confidence. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cross-Region Capacity Discovery: Queries the Azure Cognitive Services modelCapacities API across all regions for a given model and version, filtering by SKU such as GlobalStandard. - Quota Validation: Checks subscription-level quota per region via az cognitiveservices usage list and annotates results so regions at their limit are flagged. - Ranked Recommendations: Cross-references existing AI Foundry projects and outputs a ranked table sorted by capacity target, quota availability, and project count. - Use Case: You need to deploy gpt-4o with at least 100K TPM. Run the discovery script to get a ranked table of regions showing available capacity, remaining quota, and existing projects, then hand off to a deployment skill. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find which Azure regions have enough capacity and quota to deploy your chosen model, for example by saying find the best region to deploy gpt-4o with at least 100K TPM.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find available Azure OpenAI model capacity by region?▼

Run the discover_and_rank script with the model name, version, and minimum TPM target. It queries the Cognitive Services modelCapacities API across all regions and outputs a ranked table of regions with available capacity.

How do I check Azure OpenAI quota before deploying a model?▼

Use az cognitiveservices usage list for a region to see quota limits and current consumption. The skill automates this per candidate region and annotates results with a Quota Available column so regions at their limit are flagged.

Does this skill deploy the Azure OpenAI model after finding capacity?▼

No, it is read-only analysis. After discovery it hands off to the preset or customize deployment skills, and it confirms the target project with you before any deployment occurs.

What Azure permissions or setup does capacity discovery require?▼

You need an authenticated Azure CLI session via az login and read access to the subscription. The scripts call the Cognitive Services management REST API and the usage list command, so no extra SDK installation is required.

What happens if no region has capacity or quota for my model?▼

The skill reports that no capacity was found and hands off to the quota skill for increase requests and troubleshooting. You can also retry with a different model version, SKU, or a lower capacity target.
