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):
