Deploy Azure OpenAI Model via CLI in region external to RG

Question

Deploy Azure OpenAI Model via CLI in region external to RG

Dougall Percival 20

I am deploying an OpenAI model via the Azure CLI. The resource group my Open AI Service sits in does not have quota for models, so I am attempting to deploy a model in another region into this RG. I have tried the following command based on the following link (deploy a model stage), which is returning a "unrecognized arguments: --location canadaeast" error: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/create-resource?pivots=cli

This is the command I am using (note that location is not provided as a parameter for az cognitiveservices account deployment create):

az cognitiveservices account deployment create \

--name

Did you try to provide the location to create the resource? where are you running the commands?

Do you have the required setup? Are you able to deploy the resources directly through portal?

You need an existing Resource Group and OpenAI deployment before executing the commands.

In the following example, you deploy an instance of the text-embedding-ada-002 model and give it the name MyModel. When you try the example, update the code to use your values for the resource group and resource. You don't need to change the model-version, model-format or sku-capacity, and sku-name values.

Do let me know if you are still blocked.

Hi Ashok, I ended up deploying the openai resouce in the canada east region and then the cli commands work. However, with my previous set up I had this deployed in canada central, and the CLI does not seem to offer a way to deploy the model in another region, even though this is possible from the portal

I ended up deploying the openai resouce in the canada east region and then the cli commands work.
