Create an Azure AI services multi-service resource

  • Article

To use Content Understanding, you need an Azure AI Services resource. This multi-service resource enables access to multiple Azure AI services with a single set of credentials.

Prerequisites

  1. To get started, you need an active Azure account. If you don't have one, you can create a free subscription.

  2. Once you have your Azure subscription, create an Azure AI services multi-services resource in the Azure portal. The Azure AI services multi-service resource is listed under Azure AI services → Azure AI services in the portal:

    • Name. Enter a name for your resource. We recommend using a descriptive name, for example YourNameAIServicesResource.

  2. Configure other settings for your resource as needed, read, and accept the conditions (as applicable), and then select Review + create.

  4. Once the validation banner appears, select the Create button from the bottom-left corner.

  5. After you select create, you'll be redirected to a new page that says Deployment in progress. After a few seconds, you'll see a message that says, Your deployment is complete.
