Hi I was wondering how i'd be able to connect to a private endpoint using Azure AI Studio

Are you accessing the Azure AI Search resource protected by a private network?

If you have an Azure AI Search resource protected by a private network, and want to allow Azure OpenAI on your data to access your search service, complete an application form. The application will be reviewed in ten business days and you will be contacted via email about the results. If you are eligible, we will send a private endpoint request to your search service, and you will need to approve the request.

As Dillon mentioned, You can use private link to establish the private connection to your Azure AI and its default resources. Please check the documentation for more details to Add a private endpoint to an Azure AI.

You can use below method to add a private endpoint to an existing Azure AI:

1. From the Azure portal, select your Azure AI.
2. From the left side of the page, select Networking and then select the Private endpoint connections tab.
3. Create a private endpoint

You can also allow selected networks and private endpoints as shown above.

Please see Configure Azure AI services virtual networks for more details.

Do let us know if that helps or have any other queries.

Hi Wilson,

Please see the following documentation:

How to configure a private link for Azure AI

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-studio/how-to/configure-private-link?tabs=cli

"We have two network isolation aspects. One is the network isolation to access an Azure AI. Another is the network isolation of computing resources in your Azure AI and Azure AI projects such as Compute Instance, Serverless and Managed Online Endpoint. This document explains the former highlighted in the diagram. You can use private link to establish the private connection to your Azure AI and its default resources."

Limitations

• Private Azure AI services and Azure AI Search aren't supported.
• The "Add your data" feature in the Azure AI Studio playground doesn't support private storage account.
• You might encounter problems trying to access the private endpoint for your Azure AI if you're using Mozilla Firefox. This problem might be related to DNS over HTTPS in Mozilla Firefox. We recommend using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
