 - Resources deployed with Azure CLI won't work out-of-box with Azure OpenAI global batch. This is due to an issue where resources deployed using this method have endpoint subdomains that don't follow the `https://your-resource-name.openai.azure.com` pattern. A workaround for this issue is to deploy a new Azure OpenAI resource using one of the other common deployment methods which will properly handle the subdomain setup as part of the deployment process.
