Azure AI services deployment - What is the server setup behind the scenes?

Ryan O Greetings

I am curious what this DNS points to. Is it my own server that no one else has access to? Could the server be accessed by someone else's deployment and potentially cause disruption? How many server instances are there?

The URL you provided is a public endpoint that is accessible to anyone who has the URL.

It is not your own server, but rather a server instance that is managed by Azure. The server instance is shared with other Azure customers who have also deployed their applications to Azure.

However, Azure provides a secure and isolated environment for each customer's application. This means that your application is not accessible by other customers, and other customers' applications are not accessible by your application.

The diagram below illustrates how your data is processed.

Regarding the number of server instances, Azure automatically scales the number of server instances based on the demand for your application. See What is Azure OpenAI Service for more details.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
