As organizations scale their Azure OpenAI workloads, throttling (HTTP 429 errors) becomes a critical operational concern. These errors indicate that your requests exceed the provisioned capacity, leading to degraded user experience, failed completions, and potential revenue loss. This post introduces the Azure Quick Review openai-throttling plugin, which helps you identify throttling patterns, analyze affected deployments, and make data-driven decisions for capacity planning.

Azure availability zones are critical for high availability and disaster recovery. However, zone numbers (1, 2, 3) are logical abstractions—their physical datacenter mappings vary across every subscription. Your zone-redundant deployment might actually share infrastructure with your DR environment because different subscriptions map zones differently. This post explores the Azure Quick Review zone-mapping plugin and why zone mappings matter for high availability, disaster recovery, and cross-subscription architectures.

In this post, I’ll show you how to deploy Azure AI Foundry connected to Bing Grounding using Terraform. This setup enables you to leverage Azure’s powerful AI capabilities and enrich them with Bing’s search data, all managed as code for repeatability and automation. Prerequisites # Before you begin, make sure you have:

Last year I wrote a post about Enabling NAP with Terraform. While the post is still valid, I wanted to write about an scenario that many of you might be facing: Enabling NAP when bringing your own VNET. So let’s learn how to create an AKS cluster and enable Node Autoprovisioning (NAP) with Terraform when bringing your own VNET.

In this post, we will explore how to create custom evaluators to evaluate your Generative AI application locally with the Azure AI Evaluation SDK. The results of the evaluation can be uploaded to your Azure AI Foundry project where you can visualize and track the results. Prerequisites # Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

In this post, we will go through the steps required to install Chaos Mesh on an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster using Terraform. Chaos Mesh is a cloud-native Chaos Engineering platform that orchestrates chaos on Kubernetes environments. It is designed to be a scalable and extensible platform for chaos engineering. Chaos Mesh is required if you want to use Azure Chaos Studio to run chaos experiments on your AKS clusters.
