Azure OpenAI hosting integration

Use this integration to model, configure, and orchestrate Azure OpenAI in an Aspire solution.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Add the integration

From your AppHost directory, add the Aspire.Hosting.Azure.CognitiveServices integration with the Aspire CLI:

aspire add Aspire.Hosting.Azure.CognitiveServices

Configure Azure Provisioning for local development

Adding Azure resources to the AppHost model will automatically enable development-time provisioning for Azure resources so that you don't need to configure them manually. Provisioning requires a number of settings to be available via AppHost configuration. From your AppHost directory, set these values with aspire secret set:

aspire secret set Azure:SubscriptionId "<your subscription id>"
aspire secret set Azure:ResourceGroupPrefix "<prefix for the resource group>"
aspire secret set Azure:Location "<azure location>"

NOTE: Developers must have Owner access to the target subscription so that role assignments can be configured for the provisioned resources.

Usage example

In the AppHost, add an Azure OpenAI service and reference it from another resource with either C# or TypeScript:

C#

var openai = builder.AddAzureOpenAI("openai");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
                       .WithReference(openai);

TypeScript

const openai = await builder.addAzureOpenAI("openai");

const myService = await builder.addNodeApp("myService", "../my-service", "server.js")
                       .withReference(openai);

Connection Properties

When you reference Azure OpenAI resources using WithReference, the following connection properties are made available to the consuming project:

Azure OpenAI resource

The Azure OpenAI resource exposes the following connection properties:

Property Name Description
Uri The endpoint URI for the Azure OpenAI resource, typically https://<resource-name>.openai.azure.com/

Azure OpenAI deployment

The Azure OpenAI deployment resource inherits all properties from its parent Azure OpenAI resource and adds:

Property Name Description
ModelName The name of the Azure OpenAI deployment, e.g., chat

Aspire exposes each property as an environment variable named [RESOURCE]_[PROPERTY]. For instance, the Uri property of a resource called chat becomes CHAT_URI.
