If you’re using Azure for Students, you’ll notice that there are some limitations on where you can deploy your resources. Generally, you’re restricted to about five regions, and these regions can be different for each person.
If you’re working with OpenAI on Azure, here’s a simple way to find out which regions you can use. First, check your list of five regions by following these steps:
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
- Go to the “Azure Policy” section.
- Navigate to “Authoring” and then click on “Assignments.”
- Look for an assignment called “Allowed resource deployment regions.”
- Click on it to see the list of allowed regions under the “Allowed locations” parameter.
This list shows exactly where you’re permitted to deploy resources. Next, compare these regions with the list of available models on the Azure OpenAI model table (linked here: Azure OpenAI Model Table). If none of the models are available in your current regions, you have a couple of options:
- Create a new Pay-As-You-Go Azure subscription.
- Or convert your existing Azure for Students subscription to a Pay-As-You-Go plan.
This way, you’ll have more flexibility in choosing deployment regions and accessing the models you need.
Once you’ve checked and identified your available regions, try creating your resources there. If you run into problems, feel free to ask for help.
