Microsoft Azure cloud supports OpenAI models.
Translate5 OpenAI plugin proposes allows the integration with OpenAI GPT models in the Microsoft Azure cloud as well.
This documentation page contains configuration and implementation details important for plugin to be used.
Configs
The translate5 Azure integration has its own specific configs:, that are derived from what Azure needs to work with what translate5 offers for GPT.
All config values can be found in https://portal.azure.com/. If you already have an app with deployed model - just grab existing config values, otherwise read "Short workflow to create all needed resources in Azure"

Short workflow to create all needed resources in Azure
...
After language resource is created - translate5 automatically creates a model deployment of the selected model in Azure cloud. Deployment name will contain translate5 language resource id for ease identifying.
Even after deleting the language resource, the deployed model will not be deleted (could be implemented, if it makes sense).
Fine tuning
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/fine-tuning?tabs=azure-openai&pivots=rest-api
When finetuning a model - a new deployment is created after fine tuning is completed. Please note that Azure documentation says:
After you deploy a customized model, if at any time the deployment remains inactive for greater than fifteen (15) days, the deployment is deleted. The deployment of a customized model
...
is inactive if the model was deployed more than fifteen (15) days ago and no completions or chat completions calls were made to it during a continuous 15-day period.
...
The deletion of an inactive deployment doesn't delete or affect the underlying customized model, and the customized model can be redeployed at any time.
