This Azure Verified Module (AVM) Pattern deploys a complete AI Foundry infrastructure on Azure, providing a production-ready platform for AI applications with supporting services and configurable network isolation.
- AI Foundry Account & Project: Core cognitive services with project workspace and OpenAI model deployments
- Bring Your Own Resources (BYOR): Conditional deployment of Storage, Key Vault, Cosmos DB, and AI Search
- Network Isolation: Private endpoints and VNet integration support for enterprise security
- Three Example Configurations: Basic (minimal), Standard Public (full features), Standard Private (enterprise-grade)
The module uses a conditional deployment pattern where dependent services can be:
- Created new (
*_resource_id = null) - Creates new resources (default behavior) - Use existing (
*_resource_id = "/subscriptions/.../resource-id") - Uses provided existing resources
| Feature | Basic | Standard Public | Standard Private |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Foundry | ✅ Public | ✅ Public | ✅ Private |
| Storage/Key Vault/Cosmos/Search | ❌ Not created | ✅ New Public | ✅ New Private |
| Private Endpoints | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ All services |
| VNet & Management | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ Bastion & VM |
| Use Case | Development, PoC | Production | Enterprise, regulated |
This module can be used independently or as part of the broader AI/ML platform when combined with the AI Landing Zone Accelerator module.
