Welcome to CAIRA Discussions

This is where we share what we're learning about deploying secure, observable AI infrastructure in Azure.

What This Space Is For

CAIRA provides baseline configurations for Azure AI Foundry environments. This forum is where practitioners discuss real-world deployments—what works, what breaks, how you adapted configurations for your requirements.

Whether you're:

• Getting started with your first CAIRA deployment
• Customizing reference architectures for production use
• Troubleshooting Azure AI Foundry integration issues
• Figuring out network topologies and security configurations
• Building on top of CAIRA baselines

...this is your space.

Security and Compliance Notice

Please do not share any customer or private information in this forum.

Ground Rules

Share actual implementations. Code snippets, configuration files, and error messages (sanitized) help more than abstract descriptions.

Document what you learn. If you solved a tricky problem, write it down so others don't have to rediscover the solution.

Ask specific questions. The more context you provide, the better the community can help.

Challenge what doesn't work. If a baseline configuration creates problems in your environment, say so. Real-world feedback improves the project.

What You'll Find Here

• Deployment experiences across different CAIRA configurations
• Customization patterns for adapting baselines to organizational requirements
• Azure AI Foundry integration questions and solutions
• Security and networking implementation details
• Troubleshooting for common and uncommon issues

Contributing

Start a discussion. Reply to others. Share your configurations. If you found a workaround, document it.
