What it does
Discovers available Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions and projects. Analyzes quota limits, compares availability, and recommends optimal deployment locations based on capacity requirements. USE FOR: find capacity, check quota, where can I deploy, capacity discovery, best region for capacity, multi-project capacity search, quota analysis, model availability, region comparison, check TPM availability. DO NOT USE FOR: actual deployment (hand off to preset or customize after discovery), quota increase requests (direct user to Azure Portal), listing existing deployments.
Capacity Discovery
Finds available Azure OpenAI model capacity across all accessible regions and projects. Recommends the best deployment location based on capacity requirements.
Quick Reference
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Find where you can deploy a model with sufficient capacity |
| Scope | All regions and projects the user has access to |
| Output | Ranked table of regions/projects with available capacity |
| Action | Read-only analysis, does NOT deploy. Hands off to preset or customize |
| Authentication | Azure CLI (az login) |
When to Use This Skill
- ✅ User asks "where can I deploy gpt-4o?"
- ✅ User specifies a capacity target: "find a region with 10K TPM for gpt-4o"
- ✅ User wants to compare availability: "which regions have gpt-4o available?"
- ✅ User got a quota error and needs to find an alternative location
- ✅ User asks "best region and project for deploying model X"
After discovery → hand off to preset or customize for actual deployment.
Scripts
Pre-built scripts handle the complex REST API calls and data processing. Use these instead of constructing commands manually.
| Script | Purpose | Usage |
|---|---|---|
scripts/discover_and_rank.ps1 | Full discovery: capacity + projects + ranking | Primary script for capacity discovery |
scripts/discover_and_rank.sh | Same as above (bash) | Primary script for capacity discovery |
scripts/query_capacity.ps1 | Raw capacity query (no project matching) | Quick capacity check or version listing |
scripts/query_capacity.sh | Same as above (bash) | Quick capacity check or version listing |
Workflow
Phase 1: Validate Prerequisites
az account show --query "{Subscription:name, SubscriptionId:id}" --output table
Phase 2: Identify Model and Version
Extract model name from user prompt. If version is unknown, query available versions:
