Cannot use endpoint created by Foundry or Azure OpenAI Service in my embedding skillset

Question

I am creating an Azure Search with an embedding skillset. The skillset requires a resource URL with openai.azure.com. However when I create an Azure OpenAI Resource, I get the following endpoint:

https://germanywestcentral.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/

This endpoint is NOT ACCEPTED in my embedding skillset! The endpoint I get when creating a Foundry resource was also not accepted!

The Azure OpenAI Resource I created should give me this endpoint:

https://(my open ai service name).openai.azure.com

I am creating my resources with Terraform. On one deployment, the correct endpoint was created for Azure OpenAI but on the next deployment I got the regional endpoint. This is totally inconsistent! Also, if we're supposed to use the "new" Foundry, then its endpoints should **** well be accepted by the skillsets!

Answer 1

Here's the solution:

when creating the Foundry or OpenAI Resource with Terraform, make sure to use the argument "custom_subdomain_name". It should be the same value as the "name" argument.

Answer 2

Hi Koenig, Jennifer

You're very welcome! I’m glad the information was helpful.

To summarize the resolution for others: when creating the Foundry or Azure OpenAI resource using Terraform, make sure to set the custom_subdomain_name argument and use the same value as the name argument. This ensures the correct *.openai.azure.com endpoint is created and resolves the issue.

If you need any further assistance or run into issues during cleanup or redeployment, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll be happy to help.
