Search service SKU

[matthewjward]

Does the sku for the Search service need to be 'standard' (i.e. Standard S1)? Is quite an expensive resource at that sku, could maybe drop the default to Basic?

Thanks

Basic should work, but you can't use the free tier as Managed identity is not supported with the free tier.

There is a doc explaining how to run this in low cost mode that may help! https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo-csharp/blob/main/docs/deploy_lowcost.md
