Description

Implements the Azure OpenAI runtime inference provider under src/providers/inference/azure/ as a concrete InferenceProvider for AzureInferenceProviderEntry, registered on PROVIDER_CLASSES as azure.

The provider always builds an LCORE-owned AsyncAzureOpenAI client and wraps it with Pydantic AI’s AzureProvider. Authentication supports:

  • API-key auth via config.api_key
  • Microsoft Entra ID via nested config.entra_id, with legacy top-level azure_entra_id as fallback (nested wins when both are set)

Entra auth uses the Azure SDK token provider (ClientSecretCredential + get_bearer_token_provider), so LCORE does not own the Entra token lifecycle (AzureEntraIDManager is not used).

Model discovery and typing follow the same pattern as the OpenAI provider. Chat and embeddings use OpenAIResponsesModel / OpenAIEmbeddingModel. Rerank is unsupported and raises ModelTypeNotSupportedError.

Checklist before requesting a review

  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • PR has passed all pre-merge test jobs.
  • If it is a core feature, I have added thorough tests.

Testing

Unit tests

uv run pytest tests/unit/providers/inference/azure/ -q

Coverage includes:

  • API-key _build_provider path
  • Entra auth: nested credentials take precedence over legacy azure_entra_id; legacy is used when nested is absent
  • Model discovery + type inference (llm / embedding / unknown → llm)
  • _create_llm / _create_embedding / unsupported _create_rerank

Azure/OpenAI SDK clients are mocked; no live network calls.

Manual / local (optional)

  1. Configure an inference.providers[] entry with type: azure, config.base_url, config.api_version, and either config.api_key or config.entra_id (or legacy top-level azure_entra_id).
  2. Start the service and confirm the Azure provider initializes and lists/resolves catalog models as expected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Azure inference support, including model discovery, language model and embedding creation, and API key or Entra ID authentication.
    • Azure reranking requests are reported as unsupported.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the Azure inference guide with a link to its provider documentation.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for Azure and Vertex AI provider behavior and updated OpenAI model expectations.

Walkthrough

The change adds and registers an Azure inference provider with API-key and Entra ID authentication, model discovery, and LLM and embedding model creation. It also adds Vertex AI provider tests and updates the LLM model ID in two OpenAI test expectations.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6b855

The new Azure provider may list models that cannot be called when a deployment name differs from its model name. It may also accept an API version that cannot serve chat requests. The lint check also fails on a new test file. Fix these issues before merging.

Full details: Security And Secret Handling

Explanation

No blocking security issue was introduced. src/providers/inference/azure/provider.py:47-83 reads API keys and Entra credentials from SecretStr values and passes them to Azure SDK clients without logging or returning them. The changed files add no API endpoints, SQL/command/path handling, response or WebSocket exposure, or Kubernetes/RH Secret resources. Test-only credential literals are dummy fixtures.

Full details: Performance And Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

Blocking pagination issue remains in the changed Azure discovery path. src/providers/inference/azure/provider.py:73-79 awaits client.models.list() once and processes only response.data, so later pages are omitted from model discovery. The Azure tests also mock one page only and do not verify multi-page behavior. The OpenAI occurrence cited by the prior verdict is unchanged by this pull request, but the new Azure occurrence is directly caused by it.

Resolution

Fix category: pagination. Consume the OpenAI SDK page iterator, or follow continuation cursors until all pages are processed. Add a multi-page unit test that verifies every page contributes to Azure model discovery.

Review comments at @src/providers/inference/azure/provider.py:
- Around line 92-94: Update the Azure model-selection path that creates
OpenAIResponsesModel to check the configured api_version before offering chat
models. Reject or omit chat models for versions earlier than 2025-03-01-preview,
or select a compatible chat model for those versions.
- Around line 73-77: Update the discovery flow that calls
`self._get_provider.client.models.list()` so it publishes Azure deployment IDs
rather than base-model IDs. Use a suitable deployment source, or accept
explicitly configured deployment IDs without requiring them to pass the
model-list discovery check in `InferenceProvider._filter_discovered`.

Review comments at @src/providers/inference/openai/provider.py:
- Line 118: Update _filter_discovered and _infer_model_type so unrestricted
discovery excludes IDs whose model type is unknown, rather than treating them as
chat models by default. Preserve the existing "llm" fallback for explicitly
allowed custom models, and publish unknown IDs only when they have an explicit
model_type.

Learning: In this repository, it is acceptable for Python package `__init__.py` files to contain functional code (not only docstrings/metadata) and to perform package-level re-exports. Do not flag `__init__.py` solely for containing imports or other logic used to re-export symbols; this is allowed when it’s implemented via imports and `__all__` (or otherwise clearly intended to define the package’s public API).
