Move Azure Openai resource to another location

Question

Move Azure Openai resource to another location

Audrius Naujokas 25

Hi,

I am using Azure Openai openai_client.chat.completions.create in my python code and I used "gpt-35-turbo" model in West Europe location. Now I want to change the model to "gpt-4o-mini" and for this reason current location is not available.

How can I move my Azure OpenAI resource to another location?
If moving is not possible, how can I easily recreate what I already have in different location?

I'm getting this error while trying to redeploy the resource by just changing the location

You cannot move your existing Open AI instance to a new location. You will need to create a new instance in the correct location and then configure this ininle with your existing solution. If you have deployed this manually using the portal then there is no easy recreation process. If you have used Infrastructure as Code such as Bicep, you could just change the region in your code to recreate it.
