Exercise- Explore the Azure AI Extension | | Full Tutorial

🚀 Unlock the Power of AI in Your Database!

In this hands-on tutorial, you’ll learn how to integrate Azure AI services directly into Azure Database for PostgreSQL using the azure_ai extension. Whether you’re a developer, data engineer, or AI enthusiast, this video will guide you through building an AI-powered rental property recommendation system for Margie’s Travel—from setup to production!

What You’ll Learn:
Deploy Azure resources (PostgreSQL, OpenAI, AI Language) via Bicep scripts.
Install and configure the azure_ai extension for GenAI workflows.
Generate embeddings with Azure OpenAI for semantic search.
Perform sentiment analysis, language detection, and PII recognition using Azure AI Language.
Explore Azure ML integration for model inference.
Secure your AI settings with role-based access control.

Step-by-Step Labs Covered:
1. Setup: Clone the repo, generate passwords, and deploy resources with Azure CLI.
2. Database Connection: Use psql in Azure Cloud Shell to connect to PostgreSQL.
3. Data Population: Load sample rental listings and reviews from CSV files.
4. Azure AI Extension: Install azure_ai and configure endpoints and keys for OpenAI and Cognitive Services.
5. Embeddings: Create vector embeddings for property descriptions using azure_openai.create_embeddings().
6. Sentiment Analysis: Analyze customer reviews with azure_cognitive.analyze_sentiment().
7. Cleanup: Delete resources to avoid costs.

Key Features Demonstrated:
Natural Language Processing: Translate text into embeddings and analyze sentiments.
