Connect Copilot Studio with Azure Open AI when Azure service has Private Endpoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ryjan 42

Hi all, I am trying to connect my chatbots in Copilot Studio with Azure Open AI in our Azure subscription. Unfortunately all our Azure services have private endpoints. This is - I assume - why Azure Open AI cannot be deployed to my Power Platform environment. 

Is there any approach how to overcome this?

Will Virtual Networks help here?

    Hi @ryjan 

    The network option you select for your Azure Open AI resource in Azure determines the accessibility. For instance, in the example below, I opted for the Internet option, enabling access via a public endpoint.

    There is probably going to be better support for private endpoints in the future, but I don't have a timeline. Until then, you could try use a custom connector with vnet support, just keep in mind that: 1. it is still in preview 2. it will be a custom pattern, i.e. you will not be able to connect to AOAI as a built-in data source for Generative Answers.

    I still don't see Azure Open AI is not listed as a supported service as per  Virtual Network support overview - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn
     
    Wondering if there are any latest updates with regards to connecting Copilot Studio through Azure Open AI private endpoint?
     
    Thanks in advance
