GitHub Copilot SDK on Azure

Step 1: Route

| User wants | Action | |------------|--------| | Build new (empty project) | Step 2A (scaffold) | | Add new SDK service to existing repo | Step 2B (scaffold alongside) | | Deploy existing SDK app to Azure | Step 2C (add infra to existing SDK app) | | Add SDK to existing app code | Integrate SDK | | Use Azure/own model | Step 3 (BYOM config) |

Step 2A: Scaffold New (Greenfield)

azd init --template azure-samples/copilot-sdk-service

Template includes API (Express/TS) + Web UI (React/Vite) + infra (Bicep) + Dockerfiles + token scripts — do NOT recreate. See SDK ref.

Step 2B: Add SDK Service to Existing Repo

User has existing code and wants a new Copilot SDK service alongside it. Scaffold template to a temp dir, copy the API service + infra into the user's repo, adapt azure.yaml to include both existing and new services. See deploy existing ref.

Step 2C: Deploy Existing SDK App

User already has a working Copilot SDK app and needs Azure infra. See deploy existing ref.

Step 3: Model Configuration

Three model paths (layers on top of 2A/2B):

| Path | Config | |------|--------| | GitHub default | No model param — SDK picks default | | GitHub specific | model: "<name>" — use listModels() to discover | | Azure BYOM | model + provider with bearerToken via DefaultAzureCredential |

See model config ref.

Step 4: Deploy

Invoke azure-prepare (skip its Step 0 routing — scaffolding is done) → azure-validate → azure-deploy in order.

Rules

  • Read AGENTS.md in user's repo before changes
  • Docker required (docker info)
