Preset Deployment Workflow — Step-by-Step

Condensed implementation reference for preset (optimal region) model deployment. See SKILL.md for overview.

Phase 1: Verify Authentication

az account show --query "{Subscription:name, User:user.name}" -o table

If not logged in: az login

Switch subscription:

az account list --query "[].[name,id,state]" -o table
az account set --subscription <subscription-id>

Phase 2: Get Current Project

Read PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID from env or prompt user. Format: /subscriptions/{sub-id}/resourceGroups/{rg}/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/{account}/projects/{project}

Parse ARM ID components:

SUBSCRIPTION_ID=$(echo "$PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID" | sed -n 's|.*/subscriptions/\([^/]*\).*|\1|p')
RESOURCE_GROUP=$(echo "$PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID" | sed -n 's|.*/resourceGroups/\([^/]*\).*|\1|p')
ACCOUNT_NAME=$(echo "$PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID" | sed -n 's|.*/accounts/\([^/]*\)/projects.*|\1|p')
PROJECT_NAME=$(echo "$PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID" | sed -n 's|.*/projects/\([^/?]*\).*|\1|p')

Verify project exists and get region:

az account set --subscription "$SUBSCRIPTION_ID"

PROJECT_REGION=$(az cognitiveservices account show \
  --name "$PROJECT_NAME" \
  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
  --query location -o tsv)

Phase 3: Get Model Name

If model not provided as parameter, list available models:

az cognitiveservices account list-models \
  --name "$PROJECT_NAME" \
  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
  --query "[].name" -o tsv | sort -u

Get versions for selected model:

az cognitiveservices account list-models \
  --name "$PROJECT_NAME" \
  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
  --query "[?name=='$MODEL_NAME'].{Name:name, Version:version, Format:format}" \
  -o table

Phase 4: Check Current Region Capacity

CAPACITY_JSON=$(az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$SUBSCRIPTION_ID/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/locations/$PROJECT_REGION/modelCapacities?api-version=2024-10-01&modelFormat=OpenAI&modelName=$MODEL_NAME&modelVersion=$MODEL_VERSION")

CURRENT_CAPACITY=$(echo "$CAPACITY_JSON" | jq -r '.value[] | select(.properties.skuName=="GlobalStandard") | .properties.availableCapacity')

If CURRENT_CAPACITY > 0 → skip to Phase 7. Otherwise continue to Phase 5.

Phase 5: Query Multi-Region Capacity

ALL_REGIONS_JSON=$(az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$SUBSCRIPTION_ID/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/modelCapacities?api-version=2024-10-01&modelFormat=OpenAI&modelName=$MODEL_NAME&modelVersion=$MODEL_VERSION")

Extract available regions (capacity > 0):

AVAILABLE_REGIONS=$(echo "$ALL_REGIONS_JSON" | jq -r '.value[] | select(.properties.skuName=="GlobalStandard" and .properties.availableCapacity > 0) | "\(.location)|\(.properties.availableCapacity)"')

Extract unavailable regions:

UNAVAILABLE_REGIONS=$(echo "$ALL_REGIONS_JSON" | jq -r '.value[] | select(.properties.skuName=="GlobalStandard" and (.properties.availableCapacity == 0 or .properties.availableCapacity == null)) | "\(.location)|0"')

If no regions have capacity, defer to the quota skill for increase requests. Suggest checking existing deployments or trying alternative models like gpt-4o-mini.

Phase 6: Select Region and Project

Present available regions to user. Store selection as SELECTED_REGION.

Find projects in selected region:

PROJECTS_IN_REGION=$(az cognitiveservices account list \
  --query "[?kind=='AIProject' && location=='$SELECTED_REGION'].{Name:name, ResourceGroup:resourceGroup}" \
  --output json)

If no projects exist — create new:

az cognitiveservices account create \
  --name "$HUB_NAME" \
  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
  --location "$SELECTED_REGION" \
  --kind "AIServices" \
  --sku "S0" --yes

az cognitiveservices account create \
  --name "$NEW_PROJECT_NAME" \
  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
  --location "$SELECTED_REGION" \
  --kind "AIProject" \
  --sku "S0" --yes

Phase 7: Deploy Model

Generate unique deployment name using scripts/generate_deployment_name.sh:

DEPLOYMENT_NAME=$(bash scripts/generate_deployment_name.sh "$ACCOUNT_NAME" "$RESOURCE_GROUP" "$MODEL_NAME")

Calculate capacity — 50% of available, minimum 50 TPM:

SELECTED_CAPACITY=$(echo "$ALL_REGIONS_JSON" | jq -r ".value[] | select(.location==\"$SELECTED_REGION\" and .properties.skuName==\"GlobalStandard\") | .properties.availableCapacity")
DEPLOY_CAPACITY=$(( SELECTED_CAPACITY / 2 ))
[ "$DEPLOY_CAPACITY" -lt 50 ] && DEPLOY_CAPACITY=50

Create deployment:

az cognitiveservices account deployment create \
  --name "$ACCOUNT_NAME" \
  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
  --deployment-name "$DEPLOYMENT_NAME" \
  --model-name "$MODEL_NAME" \
  --model-version "$MODEL_VERSION" \
  --model-format "OpenAI" \
  --sku-name "GlobalStandard" \
  --sku-capacity "$DEPLOY_CAPACITY"

Monitor with az cognitiveservices account deployment show ... --query "properties.provisioningState" until Succeeded or Failed.
