Create an Azure AI Foundry resource

To use Content Understanding, you need an Azure AI Foundry resource.

Important

The steps below explain how to create a resource for use with the REST API. To use Content Understanding in the Azure AI Foundry portal, see the AI Foundry quickstart.

Prerequisites

  1. To get started, you need an active Azure account. If you don't have one, you can create a free subscription.

  2. Once you have your Azure subscription, create an Azure AI Foundry resource in the Azure portal. The Azure AI Foundry resource is listed under AI Foundry > AI Foundry in the portal. The API kind is AIServices.

  3. Select the Create button.

Create a resource

To use the Azure AI Content Understanding service, you must create your Azure AI Foundry resource in a supported region. The Content Understanding features are available in the following regions:

Region Region Identifier
West US westus
Sweden Central swedencentral
Australia East australiaeast

  1. Complete the AI Foundry resource fields with the following values:

    • Subscription. Select one of your available Azure subscriptions.
    • Resource group. The Azure resource group that contains your resource. You can create a new group or add it to an existing group.
    • Name. Enter a name for your resource. We recommend using a descriptive name, for example YourNameAIFoundryResource.

  2. Configure other settings for your resource as needed, read, and accept the conditions (as applicable), and then select Review + create.

  3. Azure will run a quick validation check, after a few seconds you should see a green banner that says Validation Passed.

  4. Once the validation banner appears, select the Create button from the bottom-left corner.

  5. After you select create, you'll be redirected to a new page that says Deployment in progress. After a few seconds, you'll see a message that says, Your deployment is complete.

Now that you created your Azure AI Foundry resource, you're ready to try out the Content Understanding service.
