Provider Namespaces Not Found

The following namespaces were checked but not found (may not exist or require special access):

• Microsoft.MachineLearning (legacy, may be deprecated)
• Microsoft.AI (may not be a separate namespace)
• Microsoft.OpenAI (Azure OpenAI uses Microsoft.CognitiveServices)
• Microsoft.AzureOpenAI (Azure OpenAI uses Microsoft.CognitiveServices)
• Microsoft.Cognitive (legacy, replaced by Microsoft.CognitiveServices)

Registration Status

Currently Registering

The following providers are in the process of being registered:

1. Microsoft.CognitiveServices - Registration initiated
2. Microsoft.MachineLearningServices - Registration initiated
3. Microsoft.BotService - Registration initiated
4. Microsoft.Search - Registration initiated
5. Microsoft.Synapse - Registration initiated
6. Microsoft.Databricks - Registration initiated
7. Microsoft.DataFactory - Registration initiated

Note: Provider registration typically takes 1-5 minutes. Some providers may require subscription approval.

Verify Registration Status

Check current registration status:

./scripts/azure/check-ai-ml-providers.sh

Or manually check:

az provider show --namespace Microsoft.CognitiveServices --query "registrationState" -o tsv
az provider show --namespace Microsoft.MachineLearningServices --query "registrationState" -o tsv

Azure OpenAI Service

Access Requirements

Azure OpenAI Service requires:

1. ✅ Microsoft.CognitiveServices provider registered
2. ⚠️ Access Request - Azure OpenAI requires explicit access approval
   • Request access: https://aka.ms/oai/access
   • Access is typically granted within 1-2 business days

Check OpenAI Resources

Once access is granted, check for OpenAI resources:

az cognitiveservices account list --query "[?kind=='OpenAI'].{Name:name, ResourceGroup:resourceGroup, Kind:kind}" -o table

Azure Machine Learning

Requirements

1. ✅ Microsoft.MachineLearningServices provider registered
2. ⚠️ Workspace Creation - Create ML workspace after provider registration

Check ML Workspaces

az ml workspace list --query "[].{Name:name, ResourceGroup:resourceGroup}" -o table

Preview Features

Current Status

No specific AI/ML preview features are currently configured or required.

Available Preview Features

To check for available preview features:

# Cognitive Services preview features
az feature list --namespace Microsoft.CognitiveServices --query "[?properties.state=='Registered' || properties.state=='Registering'].{Name:name, State:properties.state}" -o table

# Machine Learning preview features
az feature list --namespace Microsoft.MachineLearningServices --query "[?properties.state=='Registered' || properties.state=='Registering'].{Name:name, State:properties.state}" -o table

Registration Commands

Register All AI/ML Providers

for provider in Microsoft.CognitiveServices Microsoft.MachineLearningServices Microsoft.BotService Microsoft.Search Microsoft.Synapse Microsoft.Databricks Microsoft.DataFactory; do
  az provider register --namespace "$provider" --wait
done

Register Individual Providers

# Cognitive Services (includes Azure OpenAI)
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.CognitiveServices --wait

# Machine Learning
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.MachineLearningServices --wait

# Bot Service
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.BotService --wait

# AI Search
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Search --wait

# Synapse Analytics
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Synapse --wait

# Databricks
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Databricks --wait

# Data Factory
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.DataFactory --wait

Verification Script

Use the automated verification script:

./scripts/azure/check-ai-ml-providers.sh

This script will:

• ✅ Discover all AI/ML related providers
• ✅ Check registration status
• ✅ Register missing providers
• ✅ Verify Azure OpenAI access
• ✅ Check Azure ML workspace access
• ✅ List preview features

Next Steps

1. ⏳ Wait for Registration - Provider registrations typically complete in 1-5 minutes
2. ✅ Verify Status - Run verification script: ./scripts/azure/check-ai-ml-providers.sh
3. ⚠️ Request Azure OpenAI Access - If needed: https://aka.ms/oai/access
4. 📝 Create Resources - After registration, create AI/ML resources as needed

Related Services

Additional AI/ML Related Providers

The following providers were discovered but may not be directly AI/ML focused:

• Microsoft.HealthDataAIServices - Health data AI services
• ArizeAi.ObservabilityEval - Third-party AI observability

Monitoring and Analytics

• Microsoft.OperationalInsights - ✅ Registered (Log Analytics for AI/ML monitoring)
• Microsoft.Insights - ✅ Registered (Azure Monitor)

Troubleshooting

Provider Registration Stuck

If a provider remains in "Registering" state for more than 10 minutes:

1. Check subscription status: az account show
2. Verify permissions: Ensure you have Contributor or Owner role
3. Try manual registration: az provider register --namespace <provider> --wait
4. Check Azure Service Health: Some providers may have temporary issues

Azure OpenAI Access Denied

If you receive access denied errors:

1. Verify provider is registered: az provider show --namespace Microsoft.CognitiveServices
2. Request access: https://aka.ms/oai/access
3. Wait for approval (typically 1-2 business days)
4. Verify access: az cognitiveservices account list --query "[?kind=='OpenAI']"

Machine Learning Workspace Creation Fails

If ML workspace creation fails:

1. Verify provider registration: az provider show --namespace Microsoft.MachineLearningServices
2. Check quota: az ml quota list --location westeurope
3. Verify permissions: Ensure Contributor role on subscription
