AI-103: Developing AI Apps and Agents on Azure

Deploying an Azure OpenAI model such as DALL-E requires creating a model deployment inside an Azure OpenAI/Azure AI resource. Microsoft Foundry (the current portal experience for Azure AI/Azure OpenAI resources) is the primary interface for creating and deploying such models, and the Azure CLI (using the cognitiveservices extension, e.g., az cognitiveservices account deployment create) provides a supported command-line/automation method for creating those deployments. This combination is documented in Microsoft's official guidance on deploying models in Microsoft Foundry, whereas the other tool combinations listed (Azure ML Studio, Microsoft Graph API, or the Python/PowerShell SDK/cmdlet pairing) are not the supported mechanism for deploying Azure OpenAI's DALL-E model.
