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.mdin user's repo before changes - Docker required (
docker info)
