🧒 Basics

Start with fundamentals: what Azure OpenAI is, how models and tokens work, and how to make secure API calls.

🤖

What is Azure OpenAI and Why It Matters

Understand what Azure OpenAI provides, where it fits in enterprise systems, and why teams use it.

→ Managed GPT access on Azure→ Enterprise security and compliance→ Business use cases

🧮

Models, Tokens, and Context Windows

Learn how model families, token budgets, and context windows shape output quality and cost.

→ GPT model selection→ Token counting basics→ Context limits and truncation

🔐

API Fundamentals - Authentication, Endpoints, and Keys

Connect securely to Azure OpenAI using proper endpoint patterns, key handling, and request structure.

→ Azure endpoint format→ Auth headers and keys→ Request/response handling

💬

Your First Chat Completion Request

Send your first prompt, parse the response, and apply safe defaults for retries and timeouts.

→ Chat completion flow→ Response parsing→ Timeouts and retries

🔧 Intermediate

Build practical LLM workflows with prompt patterns, message roles, structured outputs, and tool calling.

🧠

Prompt Engineering Foundations and Patterns

Design prompts that are clear, testable, and robust across realistic enterprise inputs.

→ Instruction hierarchy→ Few-shot prompting→ Output constraints

🧾

System, User, Assistant Messages and Roles

Use message roles correctly to improve control, consistency, and safety in chat-based applications.

→ Role semantics→ Conversation state→ Policy prompts

📝

Text Generation, Summarization, and Classification Patterns

Implement core enterprise patterns such as report generation, summarization, and ticket classification.

→ Summarization pipelines→ Classification prompts→ Quality validation

🧩

Function Calling and Structured Output Patterns

Use tools/function calling and JSON schema outputs for deterministic automation workflows.

→ Tool calling basics→ Schema-safe JSON→ Workflow orchestration

⚙️ Advanced

Operationalize Azure OpenAI in production with observability, cost controls, security, and resilient architecture.

📟

DevOps Use Cases - Log Analysis and Incident Summaries

Apply Azure OpenAI to operational workflows: noisy log triage, incident summaries, and handoff notes.

→ Log clustering→ Incident summarization→ Ops handoff automation

📊

Monitoring, Cost Control, and Token Optimization

Track usage, optimize token spend, and design alerting for reliability and cost governance.

→ Usage telemetry→ Token optimization→ Cost alerting

🛡️

Security, Responsible AI, and Data Governance

Implement secure access, content safety, prompt-injection defenses, and enterprise governance controls.

→ RBAC and Key Vault→ Prompt injection defense→ Compliance controls

🏗️

Production Architecture - Caching, Fallbacks, and Retries

Design resilient Azure OpenAI systems with fallbacks, rate-limit handling, and response caching.

→ Resilience patterns→ Retry and backoff→ Fallback model routing

🧪 Hands-on Labs

Apply everything in realistic enterprise scenarios: assistants, incident triage automation, and failure debugging.
