Enable Sovereign Region Deployment

Follow these steps to enable a Sovereign region deployment. If you need access to AOAI in a UsGov region please fill out this form https://aka.ms/AOAIgovaccess.

Only Sovereign regions / models supported are listed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/models#azure-government-regions

Setup the environment

To enable a Sovereign region deployment, you need to update the local.env file with the following values

  1. Navigate to your local.env and update your location to a usgov region:

    export LOCATION="usgovvirginia"

    or

    export LOCATION="usgovvarizona"

  2. Set AZURE_ENVIRONMENT parameter to AzureUSGovernment

  3. Ensure the following feature flags are disabled as they are not available in US Government deployments.

    export ENABLE_WEB_CHAT=false
export ENABLE_SHAREPOINT_CONNECTOR=false

  4. Set USE_EXISTING_AOAI parameter to true if you have a existing AOAI instance deployed. If you want to create Azure Open AI resource during deployment then set this parameter to false

  5. Consider setting CHAT_WARNING_BANNER_TEXT with DEV / UNCLASSIFIED / NO CUI or something similar if deployment is IL2.
