Steps to Create Azure AI Foundry Project in Azure Portal

Visite Azure AI Foundry portal. You will see a list of all your existing projects if any. Click on + New project.

Give a project name suitable according to your project. Select an existing hub or create a new one. Here, we are creating a new hub for our project. If you want to use customized names for resource groups and resources, click on Customize, else directly click on Create. We will customize our resource names based on our organization naming policies.

1. Project name: A name for your project. Projects are backed by an Azure resource which may have to meet naming requirements for policies set by your IT admin.
2. Hub: A hub is the collaboration environment for your team to share your project work, model endpoints, compute, connections, and security settings. Learn more.

Fill out all the necessary details to customize your new AI hub.

1. Subscription: Choose a specific Azure subscription for your project for billing, access or administrative reasons. For example, this grants users and service principals with subscription-level access to your project.
2. Resource group: Choose a specific Azure resource group for your project for billing, access or administrative reasons. For example, this grants users and service principals with resource group-level access to your project.
3. Location: Choose an Azure location for your hub. This will impact what models, model versions, and model quota are natively available for deployment. You can later connect additional resources to your hub to leverage resources in other Azure locations.
4. Connect Azure AI Services or Azure OpenAI Service: Provides AI Foundry hub users access to model deployments from an existing Azure AI services or Azure OpenAI Service resource. Managed in your Azure subscription as a separate resource. You can manage connections post-creation.
5. Connect Azure AI Search: Connect AI Search to do vector search on your data when working with Azure OpenAI Service.

Click on Next and Review all the details you have entered in the previous steps. Once reviewed, click on Create.

This will now start deploying all the resources in your new/existing resource group.

Once all the resources are created, you will be redirected to the project overview page. Make a note of Project connection string under Project details for future development and using Azure AI Foundry SDK.

Thank you All!!! Hope you find this useful.
