b. Select the Azure region that corresponds to your geographical location. For example, East US.
IMPORTANT : If you're planning to use image generation features with DALL-E, make sure to choose "Sweden Central" region as it's currently the only region that supports it.
c. Enter the name of your resource. This will also be your custom domain name in your endpoint.
- Note: Your resource name can include alphanumeric characters and hyphens but cannot start or end with a hyphen.
d. Select a Pricing Tier.
