How to deploy GPT 4o in Canada keeping data residency requirements

I am trying to deploy GPT 4o in Canada, with keeping to data residency requirements. My data needs to stay in Canada for a health care use case.

In Azure studio, reviewing my quota page, I do not see a standard quota type for model 4o in Canada. I only see Global Standard and Global Batch for 4o. Is it not available in Canada while keeping data residency requirements?

For standard deployments, I only see GPT-4 and not 4o.

Looking for assistance here on:

  1. Confirming model availability in Canada, specifically 4o
  2. Deploying in respecting data residency requirements

    Hello Jay,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

    I understand that you would like to find solution to how can deploy GPT 4o in Canada keeping data residency requirements.

    Regarding your explanation and in addition to what @Pavankumar Purilla have replied.

    The global quotas for GPT-4o (Standard and Batch) indicate global hosting, which does not align with regional data residency requirements. The alternative deployment options you have is to use GPT-4 (Standard Quota) which is available in the Canada East region, and deployments using this option ensure compliance with Canadian data residency requirements. Consider whether GPT-4 (not GPT-4o) meets your use case's performance and feature needs. Also, if data residency is critical, you can consider using Azure OpenAI on your data with models like GPT-4. This approach allows you to securely connect your data while adhering to compliance regulations.

    More on Data Residency Compliance:

    1. Deploy your solution in the Canada East region using GPT-4 (Standard). Ensure that all supporting Azure services (e.g., storage, databases, and cognitive services) are also deployed in the same region to maintain data residency compliance.
    2. For stricter residency and compliance controls, deploy GPT-4 within a virtual network (VNet) using private endpoints. This setup ensures that all data remains within the Azure region and is not exposed to the public internet.

    I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
