-<!-- This capability is preview-only. In the generally available version of [vector search](vector-search-overview.md) and in previous preview versions, data chunking and vectorization rely on external components for chunking and vectors, and your application code must handle and coordinate each step. In this preview, chunking and vectorization are built into indexing through skills and indexers. You can set up a skillset that chunks data using the Text Split skill, and then call an embedding model using either the AzureOpenAIEmbedding skill or a custom skill. Any vectorizers used during indexing can also be called on queries to convert text to vectors. -->

+Integrated vectorization is available in all regions and tiers. However, if you're using Azure OpenAI and the AzureOpenAIEmbedding skill, check [regional availability]( https://azure.microsoft.com/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/?products=cognitive-services) of that service.
 
 If you're using a custom skill and an Azure hosting mechanism (such as an Azure function app, Azure Web App, and Azure Kubernetes), check the [product by region page](https://azure.microsoft.com/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/) for feature availability.
