## What it does

The skill checks Azure sign-in and the project resource, lists available models, then tests capacity in the current region. If capacity is unavailable, it queries other regions and lets you choose a region and project. It can also create a project.

Deployments use the GlobalStandard SKU. The skill calculates capacity and monitors deployment progress. You need Azure CLI configured for sign-in, an active subscription with Cognitive Services read and create permissions, and a Microsoft Foundry project resource ID, supplied through `PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID` or interactively. Without those permissions, project checks or deployment creation will fail.

## Requirements
- Works with: Azure

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill preset -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/preset/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/preset/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/preset/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/preset/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install microsoft/skills preset
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/preset/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/microsoft/skills --path .github/plugins/azure-skills/skills/microsoft-foundry/models/deploy-model/preset
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/preset/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/microsoft/skills/tree/HEAD/.github/plugins/azure-skills/skills/microsoft-foundry/models/deploy-model/preset/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check model capacity in the project’s region
- find another region with Azure OpenAI capacity
- choose a model and version for deployment
- create a Microsoft Foundry project in a selected region
- track a model deployment’s status

## Example prompts
- Deploy the chosen Azure OpenAI model in my project’s region.
- Check other regions and show where this model has capacity.
- Create a project in the selected region and deploy with GlobalStandard.

# Deploy Model to Optimal Region

Automates intelligent Azure OpenAI model deployment by checking capacity across regions and deploying to the best available option.

## What This Skill Does

1. Verifies Azure authentication and project scope
2. Checks capacity in current project's region
3. If no capacity: analyzes all regions and shows available alternatives
4. Filters projects by selected region
5. Supports creating new projects if needed
6. Deploys model with GlobalStandard SKU
7. Monitors deployment progress

## Prerequisites

- Azure CLI installed and configured
- Active Azure subscription with Cognitive Services read/create permissions
- Microsoft Foundry project resource ID (`PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID` env var or provided interactively)
  - Format: `/subscriptions/{sub-id}/resourceGroups/{rg}/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/{account}/projects/{project}`
  - Found in: Microsoft Foundry portal → Project → Overview → Resource ID

## Quick Workflow

### Fast Path (Current Region Has Capacity)
```
1. Check authentication → 2. Get project → 3. Check current region capacity
→ 4. Deploy immediately
```

### Alternative Region Path (No Capacity)
```
1. Check authentication → 2. Get project → 3. Check current region (no capacity)
→ 4. Query all regions → 5. Show alternatives → 6. Select region + project
→ 7. Deploy
```

## Deployment Phases

| Phase | Action | Key Commands |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| 1. Verify Auth | Check Azure CLI login and subscription | `az account show`, `az login` |
| 2. Get Project | Parse `PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID` ARM ID, verify exists | `az cognitiveservices account show` |
| 3. Get Model | List available models, user selects model + version | `az cognitiveservices account list-models` |
| 4. Check Current Region | Query capacity using GlobalStandard SKU | `az rest --method GET .../modelCapacities` |
| 5. Multi-Region Query | If no local capacity, query all regions | Same capacity API without location filter |
| 6. Select Region + Project | User picks region; find or create project | `az cognitiveservices account list`, `az cognitiveservices account create` |
| 7. Deploy | Generate unique name, calculate capacity (50% available, min 50 TPM), create deployment | `az cognitiveservices account deployment create` |

For detailed step-by-step instructions, see [workflow reference](references/workflow.md).

## Error Handling

| Error | Symptom | Resolution |
|-------|---------|------------|
| Auth failure | `az account show` returns error | Run `az login` then `az account set --subscription <id>` |
| No quota | All regions show 0 capacity | Defer to the [quota skill](../../../quota/quota.md) for increase requests and troubleshooting; check existing deployments; try alternative models |
