Azure AI Search regions list

  • Artikulo

This article identifies the cloud regions in which Azure AI Search is available. It also lists which premium features are available in each region.

Features subject to regional availability

Some features take a dependency on other Azure services or infrastructure that are subject to regional availability. If you need a specific feature, make sure it's available in the desired region.

Feature Description Availability
Extra capacity Higher capacity partitions became available in selected regions starting in April 2024 with a second wave following in May 2024. Currently, there are just a few regions that don't offer higher capacity partitions. If you're using an older search service, create a new search service to benefit from more capacity at the same billing rate. Regional support for extra capacity is noted in the footnotes of this article.

Check service age to see if your search service was created after high capacity partitions became available.

To check the capacity of an existing service, find your search service and select the Properties tab in the middle of the Overview page.
Availability zones Divides a region's data centers into distinct physical location groups, providing high-availability within the same geo. Regional support is noted in this article.
Semantic ranker Takes a dependency on Microsoft-hosted models in specific regions. Regional support is noted in this article.
AI service integration Refers to built-in skills that make internal calls to Azure AI for enrichment and transformation during indexing. Integration requires that Azure AI Search coexists with an Azure AI multi-service account in the same physical region. You can bypass region requirements if you use identity-based connections, currently in public review. Regional support is noted in this article.
Azure OpenAI integration Refers to the AzureOpenAIEmbedding skill and vectorizer that make internal calls to deployed embedding models on Azure OpenAI. Check Azure OpenAI model region availability for the most current list of regions for each embedding and chat model. Specific Azure OpenAI models are in fewer regions, so check for model availability first, and then verify Azure AI Search is available in the same region.
Azure AI Foundry integration Refers to skills and vectorizers that make internal calls to the models hosted in the model catalog. Check Azure AI Foundry region availability for the most current list of regions.
Azure AI Vision 4.0 multimodal APIs Refers to the Azure AI Vision multimodal embeddings skill and vectorizer that call the multimodal embedding API. Check the Azure AI Vision region list first, and then verify Azure AI Search is available in the same region.

Azure Public regions

You can create an Azure AI Search resource in any of the following Azure public regions. Almost all of these regions support higher capacity tiers. Exceptions are noted where they apply.

AI service integration refers to internal connections to an Azure AI multi-service account and doesn't include Azure OpenAI integration.
