10. VSCode Config Env

[!hint] This assumes you the Azure Resource Group and related resources were setup previously. We'll now configure service endpoints and keys as env vars for programmatic access from Jupyter Notebooks.

  • [] 01 | Keep your Visual Studio Code editor open in one tab
    • Find the local.env file in the root directory
    • Open VS Code Terminal, enter: +++cp local.env .env+++
    • This should copy "local.env" to a new .env file.
    • Open ".env" in Visual Studio Code, keep tab open.

[!hint] This involves multiple Copy-Paste actions. If you have trouble pasting into VS Code window, right-click and choose Paste from the menu.

  • [] 02 | Update the Azure OpenAI environment variables

    • Open +++https://ai.azure.com+++ in a new tab
    • Click "Build", then open your AI project page.
    • Click "Settings", click "Show endpoints" in the first tile
    • Copy Azure.OpenAI endpoint value,
      To "CONTOSO_AI_SERVICES_ENDPOINT" value in ".env"
    • Copy Primary key value
      To "CONTOSO_AI_SERVICES_KEY" value in ".env"

  • [] 03 | Update the Azure AI Search environment variables

    • Open +++https://portal.azure.com+++ in a new tab
    • Open your Azure AI Search resource page (contoso-chat-aisearch)
    • Copy Uri value under Overview page
      To "CONTOSO_SEARCH_SERVICE" in ".env"
    • Copy Primary admin key value under Keys page
      To "CONTOSO_SEARCH_KEY" in ".env"

  • [] 04 | Locate the Azure CosmosDB environment variables

    • Open +++https://portal.azure.com+++ in a new tab
    • Open your Azure CosmosDB resource page, click Keys
    • Copy URI value,
      To "COSMOS_ENDPOINT" value in ".env"
    • Copy PRIMARY KEY value
      To "COSMOS_KEY" value in ".env"

  • [] 05 | Save the ".env" file.

🥳 Congratulations!
Your VS Code env variables are updated!
