Hi all, I am trying to connect my chatbots in Copilot Studio with Azure Open AI in our Azure subscription. Unfortunately all our Azure services have private endpoints. This is - I assume - why Azure Open AI cannot be deployed to my Power Platform environment.

Is there any approach how to overcome this?

Will Virtual Networks help here?

There is probably going to be better support for private endpoints in the future, but I don't have a timeline. Until then, you could try use a custom connector with vnet support, just keep in mind that: 1. it is still in preview 2. it will be a custom pattern, i.e. you will not be able to connect to AOAI as a built-in data source for Generative Answers.

Hi @ryjan
The network option you select for your Azure Open AI resource in Azure determines the accessibility. For instance, in the example below, I opted for the Internet option, enabling access via a public endpoint.
