## Description

Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Step-by-step selection of model version, SKU (GlobalStandard/Standard/ProvisionedManaged), capacity, RAI policy (content filter), and advanced options (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover). USE FOR: custom deployment, customize model deployment, choose version, select SKU, set capacity, configure content filter, RAI policy, deployment options, detailed deployment, advanced deployment, PTU deployment, provisioned throughput.

# Customize Model Deployment

Interactive guided workflow for deploying Azure OpenAI models with full customization control over version, SKU, capacity, content filtering, and advanced options.

## Quick Reference

| Property | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| **Flow** | Interactive step-by-step guided deployment |
| **Customization** | Version, SKU, Capacity, RAI Policy, Advanced Options |
| **SKU Support** | GlobalStandard, Standard, ProvisionedManaged, DataZoneStandard |
| **Best For** | Precise control over deployment configuration |
| **Authentication** | Azure CLI (`az login`) |
| **Tools** | Azure CLI, MCP tools (optional) |

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need **precise control** over deployment configuration:

- ✅ **Choose specific model version** (not just latest)
- ✅ **Select deployment SKU** (GlobalStandard vs Standard vs PTU)
- ✅ **Set exact capacity** within available range
- ✅ **Configure content filtering** (RAI policy selection)
- ✅ **Enable advanced features** (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover)
- ✅ **PTU deployments** (Provisioned Throughput Units)

**Alternative:** Use `preset` for quick deployment to the best available region with automatic configuration.

### Comparison: customize vs preset

| Feature | customize | preset |
|---------|---------------------|----------------------------|
| **Focus** | Full customization control | Optimal region selection |
| **Version Selection** | User chooses from available | Uses latest automatically |
| **SKU Selection** | User chooses (GlobalStandard/Standard/PTU) | GlobalStandard only |
| **Capacity** | User specifies exact value | Auto-calculated (50% of available) |
| **RAI Policy** | User selects from options | Default policy only |
| **Region** | Current region first, falls back to all regions if no capacity | Checks capacity across all regions upfront |
| **Use Case** | Precise deployment requirements | Quick deployment to best region |
