Deploy an OpenAI, LangChain, ChromaDB, and Chainlit chat app in Azure Kubernetes Service using Terraform

In this sample, I demonstrate how to quickly build chat applications using Python and leveraging powerful technologies such as OpenAI ChatGPT models, Embedding models, LangChain framework, ChromaDB vector database, and Chainlit, an open-source Python package that is specifically designed to create user interfaces (UIs) for AI applications. These applications are hosted in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster that communicates with Azure OpenAI Service (AOAI) via an Azure Private Endpoint.

  • Simple Chat: This simple chat application utilizes OpenAI's language models to generate real-time completion responses.
  • Documents QA Chat: This chat application goes beyond simple conversations. Users can upload up to 10 .pdf and .docx documents, which are then processed to create vector embeddings. These embeddings are stored in ChromaDB for efficient retrieval. Users can pose questions about the uploaded documents and view the Chain of Thought, enabling easy exploration of the reasoning process. The completion message contains links to the text chunks in the documents that were used as a source for the response.

Both applications use a user-defined managed identity to authenticate and authorize against Azure OpenAI Service (AOAI) and Azure Container Registry (ACR) and use Azure Private Endpoints to connect privately and securely to these services. The chat UIs are built using Chainlit, an open-source Python package designed explicitly for creating AI applications. Chainlit seamlessly integrates with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and LangFlow, making it a powerful tool for developing ChatGPT-like applications with ease.

What is Azure OpenAI Service?

The Azure OpenAI Service is a platform offered by Microsoft Azure that provides cognitive services powered by OpenAI models. One of the models available through this service is the ChatGPT model, which is designed for interactive conversational tasks. It allows developers to integrate natural language understanding and generation capabilities into their applications.

Azure OpenAI Service provides REST API access to OpenAI's powerful language models including the GPT-3, Codex and Embeddings model series. In addition, the new GPT-4 and ChatGPT model series have now reached general availability. These models can be easily adapted to your specific task including but not limited to content generation, summarization, semantic search, and natural language to code translation. Users can access the service through REST APIs, Python SDK, or our web-based interface in the Azure OpenAI Studio.

The Chat Completion API, which is part of the Azure OpenAI Service, provides a dedicated interface for interacting with the ChatGPT and GPT-4 models. This API is currently in preview and is the preferred method for accessing these models. The GPT-4 models can only be accessed through this API.

GPT-3, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4 models from OpenAI are prompt-based. With prompt-based models, the user interacts with the model by entering a text prompt, to which the model responds with a text completion. This completion is the model’s continuation of the input text. While these models are extremely powerful, their behavior is also very sensitive to the prompt. This makes prompt construction an important skill to develop. For more information, see Introduction to prompt engineering.

Prompt construction can be difficult. In practice, the prompt acts to configure the model weights to complete the desired task, but it's more of an art than a science, often requiring experience and intuition to craft a successful prompt. The goal of this article is to help get you started with this learning process. It attempts to capture general concepts and patterns that apply to all GPT models. However it's important to understand that each model behaves differently, so the learnings may not apply equally to all models.

Prompt engineering refers to the process of creating instructions called prompts for Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. With the immense potential of LLMs to solve a wide range of tasks, leveraging prompt engineering can empower us to save significant time and facilitate the development of impressive applications. It holds the key to unleashing the full capabilities of these huge models, transforming how we interact and benefit from them. For more information, see Prompt engineering techniques.

Vector Databases

A vector database is a specialized database that goes beyond traditional storage by organizing information to simplify the search for similar items. Instead of merely storing words or numbers, it leverages vector embeddings - unique numerical representations of data. These embeddings capture meaning, context, and relationships. For instance, words are represented as vectors, whereas similar words have similar vector values.

The applications of vector databases are numerous and powerful. In language processing, they facilitate the discovery of related documents or sentences. By comparing the vector embeddings of different texts, finding similar or related information becomes faster and more efficient. This capability benefits search engines and recommendation systems, which can suggest relevant articles or products based on user interests.

In the realm of image analysis, vector databases excel in finding visually similar images. By representing images as vectors, a simple comparison of vector values can identify visually similar images. This capability is highly valuable for tasks like reverse image search or content-based image retrieval.

Additionally, vector databases find applications in fraud detection, anomaly detection, and clustering. By comparing vector embeddings of data points, unusual patterns can be detected, and similar items can be grouped together, aiding in effective data analysis and decision-making.

Here is a list of the most popular vector databases:

  • ChromaDB is a powerful database solution that stores and retrieves vector embeddings efficiently. It is commonly used in AI applications, including chatbots and document analysis systems.

Managed NGINX Ingress Controller for Azure Kubernetes Service

One way to route HTTP and secure HTTPS traffic to applications in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster is by using the Kubernetes Ingress object. The application routing add-on for AKS enables you to create, configure, and manage one or more Ingress controllers within your AKS cluster using the NGINX Ingress Controller.

The application routing add-on with NGINX provides several features, including:

  • Easy configuration of managed NGINX Ingress controllers based on the Kubernetes NGINX Ingress controller.
  • Integration with Azure DNS for public and private zone management.
  • SSL termination with certificates stored in Azure Key Vault.

To enable the application routing add-on on an existing cluster, you can use Azure CLI, as shown in the following code snippet.

az aks approuting enable -g <ResourceGroupName> -n <ClusterName>

Once enabled, you can connect to your AKS cluster, deploy applications, and create Ingress objects with appropriate annotations for routing. There are some limitations to be aware of, such as the maximum number of supported Azure DNS zones and namespace editing restrictions. It's recommended to review the application routing add-on configuration for additional information on SSL encryption and DNS integration.

If you are familiar with the NGINX ingress controller, you can just replace the nginx ingress class name inside an ingress object with the name of the ingress controller deployed by the application routing addon, that, by default is equal to webapprouting.kubernetes.azure.com:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: chat-ingress-webapprouting
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-webapprouting
    cert-manager.io/acme-challenge-type: http01 
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: "cookie"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-connect-timeout: "3600"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-send-timeout: "3600"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout: "3600"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-next-upstream-timeout: "3600"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-cors: "true"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-origin: "*"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-credentials: "false"
spec:
  ingressClassName: webapprouting.kubernetes.azure.com
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - chat.babosbird.com
    secretName: chat-tls-secret-webapprouting
  rules:
  - host: chat.babosbird.com
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: chat
            port:
              number: 8000

If you leverage cert-manager and with Let's Encrypt certificate authority to issue TLS/SSL certificates to your application, make sure to create an issuer or a cluster issuer for the ingress class of the managed NGINX ingress controller installed by the application routing add-on. This can be done using the sample code provided below:

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  annotations:
  name: letsencrypt-webapprouting
spec:
  acme:
    email: [email protected]
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: letsencrypt-webapprouting
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    solvers:
    - http01:
        ingress:
          class: webapprouting.kubernetes.azure.com
          podTemplate:
            metadata: {}
            spec:
              nodeSelector:
                kubernetes.io/os: linux

Ensure that you replace [email protected] with your own email address to receive notifications from Let's Encrypt. By using this configuration, cert-manager will be able to issue certificates for the ingress class of the managed NGINX ingress controller when using the application routing add-on. Please note that the server URL https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory is the Let's Encrypt production server. You can also use the staging server https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory for testing purposes to avoid rate limits. Ensure that the issuer or cluster issuer resource is deployed to your Kubernetes cluster, and cert-manager is properly installed and configured.

For more detailed steps and instructions, refer to Managed nginx Ingress with the application routing add-on.

Azure Cognitive Services use custom subdomain names for each resource created through the Azure portal, Azure Cloud Shell, Azure CLI, Bicep, Azure Resource Manager (ARM), or Terraform. Unlike regional endpoints, which were common for all customers in a specific Azure region, custom subdomain names are unique to the resource. Custom subdomain names are required to enable features like Microsoft Entra ID for authentication. In our case, we need to specify a custom subdomain for our Azure OpenAI Service as our chatbot application will use an Microsoft Entra ID security token to access it. By default, the main.tf module sets the value of the custom_subdomain_name parameter to the lowercase name of the Azure OpenAI resource. For more information on custom subdomains, see Custom subdomain names for Cognitive Services.

This terraform module allows you to pass an array containing the definition of one or more model deployments in the deployments parameter. For more information on model deployments, see Create a resource and deploy a model using Azure OpenAI.

As an alternative, you can use the Terraform module for deploying Azure OpenAI Service. to deploy an Azure OpenAI Service.

This module allows to deploy an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster with the following extensions and features:

NOTE
You can deploy an AKS resource as a public cluster with API Server VNet Integration enabled. During the installation, you can use Terraform modules that make use of the Helm, Kubectl, and Kubernetes Terraform Providers to install packages and create Kubernetes entities. Once the installation is complete, you can turn the cluster to private.

Private Endpoint and Private DNS Zone Terraform Modules

The main.tf module creates Azure Private Endpoints and Azure Private DNS Zones for each of the following resources:

  • Azure OpenAI Service
  • Azure Container Registry
  • Azure Key Vault
  • Azure Storage Account

In particular, it creates an Azure Private Endpoint and Azure Private DNS Zone to the Azure OpenAI Service as shown in the following code snippet:

module "openai_private_dns_zone" {
  source                       = "./modules/private_dns_zone"
  name                         = "privatelink.openai.azure.com"
  resource_group_name          = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name
  tags                         = var.tags
  virtual_networks_to_link     = {
    (module.virtual_network.name) = {
      subscription_id = data.azurerm_client_config.current.subscription_id
      resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name
    }
  }
}

module "openai_private_endpoint" {
  source                         = "./modules/private_endpoint"
  name                           = "${module.openai.name}PrivateEndpoint"
  location                       = var.location
  resource_group_name            = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name
  subnet_id                      = module.virtual_network.subnet_ids[var.vm_subnet_name]
  tags                           = var.tags
  private_connection_resource_id = module.openai.id
  is_manual_connection           = false
  subresource_name               = "account"
  private_dns_zone_group_name    = "AcrPrivateDnsZoneGroup"
  private_dns_zone_group_ids     = [module.acr_private_dns_zone.id]
}

Below you can read the code of the private_dns_zone and private_endpoint modules used, respectively, to create the Azure Private Endpoints and Azure Private DNS Zones.

resource "azurerm_private_dns_zone" "private_dns_zone" {
  name                = var.name
  resource_group_name = var.resource_group_name
  tags                = var.tags

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
      tags
    ]
  }
}

  }
}

    subresource_names              = try([var.subresource_name], null)
    request_message                = try(var.request_message, null)
  }

  private_dns_zone_group {
    name                 = var.private_dns_zone_group_name
    private_dns_zone_ids = var.private_dns_zone_group_ids
  }

  lifecycle {

    ]
  }
}

Workload User-Defined Managed Identity

The following code snippet from the main.tf Terraform module creates the user-defined managed identity used by the chatbot to acquire a security token from Microsoft Entra ID via Microsoft Entra Workload ID.

resource "azurerm_user_assigned_identity" "aks_workload_identity" {
  name                = var.name_prefix == null ? "${random_string.prefix.result}${var.workload_managed_identity_name}" : "${var.name_prefix}${var.workload_managed_identity_name}"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name
  location            = var.location
  tags                = var.tags

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
      tags
    ]
  }
}

resource "azurerm_role_assignment" "cognitive_services_user_assignment" {
  scope                = module.openai.id
  role_definition_name = "Cognitive Services User"
  principal_id         = azurerm_user_assigned_identity.aks_workload_identity.principal_id
  skip_service_principal_aad_check = true
}

resource "azurerm_federated_identity_credential" "federated_identity_credential" {
  name                = "${title(var.namespace)}FederatedIdentity"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name
  audience            = ["api://AzureADTokenExchange"]
  issuer              = module.aks_cluster.oidc_issuer_url
  parent_id           = azurerm_user_assigned_identity.aks_workload_identity.id
  subject             = "system:serviceaccount:${var.namespace}:${var.service_account_name}"
}

The above code snippet performs the following steps:

  • Creates a new user-defined managed identity.
  • Assign the new managed identity to the Cognitive Services User role with the resource group as a scope.
  • Federate the managed identity with the service account used by the chatbot. The following information is necessary to create the federated identity credentials:
    • The Kubernetes service account name.
    • The Kubernetes namespace that will host the chatbot application.
    • The URL of the OpenID Connect (OIDC) token issuer endpoint for Microsoft Entra Workload ID

For more information, see the following resources:

Validate the deployment

Open the Azure Portal, and navigate to the resource group. Open the Azure Open AI Service resource, navigate to Keys and Endpoint, and check that the endpoint contains a custom subdomain rather than the regional Cognitive Services endpoint.

OpenAI Key and Endpoint

Open to the <Prefix>WorkloadManagedIdentity managed identity, navigate to the Federated credentials, and verify that the federated identity credentials for the chainlit-sa service account were created correctly, as shown in the following picture.

Federated Identity Credentials

Use Microsoft Entra Workload ID with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Workloads deployed on an Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) cluster require Microsoft Entra ID application credentials or managed identities to access Microsoft Entra ID protected resources, such as Azure Key Vault and Microsoft Graph. Microsoft Entra Workload ID integrates with the capabilities native to Kubernetes to federate with external identity providers.

Microsoft Entra Workload ID uses Service Account Token Volume Projection to enable pods to use a Kubernetes service account. When enabled, the AKS OIDC Issuer issues a service account security token to a workload and OIDC federation enables the application to access Azure resources securely with Microsoft Entra ID based on annotated service accounts.

Microsoft Entra Workload ID works well with the Azure Identity client libraries and the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) collection if you use a registered application instead of a managed identity. Your workload can use any of these libraries to seamlessly authenticate and access Azure cloud resources.

For more information, see the following resources:

Kubernetes Terraform module

This sample makes use of the kubernetes of the Helm, Kubectl, and Kubernetes Terraform Providers to install packages and create Kubernetes entities:

The following table contains the Terraform module used to install the NGINX Ingress Controller:

resource "helm_release" "nginx_ingress_controller" {
  name             = "ingress-nginx"
  repository       = "https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx"
  chart            = "ingress-nginx"
  namespace        = "ingress-basic"
  create_namespace = true
  timeout          = 600

  set {
    name  = "controller.metrics.enabled"
    value = "true"
  }

  set {
    name  = "controller.metrics.serviceMonitor.enabled"
    value = "true"
  }
  
  set {
    name  = "controller.metrics.serviceMonitor.additionalLabels.release"
    value = "prometheus"
  }


  set {
    name  = "controller.service.annotations.service\\.beta\\.kubernetes\\.io/azure-load-balancer-health-probe-request-path"
    value = "/healthz"
  }

  set {
    name  = "controller.nodeSelector.kubernetes\\.io/os"
    value = "linux"
  }

  set {
    name  = "controller.replicaCount"
    value = "${var.nginx_replica_count}"
  }

  depends_on = [helm_release.prometheus]
}

Instead, the following module is used to create the workload namespace and service account:

resource "kubernetes_namespace" "namespace" {
  metadata {
    name = "${var.namespace}"
  }
}

resource "kubectl_manifest" "service_account" {
  yaml_body = <<-EOF
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ServiceAccount
    metadata:
      annotations:
        azure.workload.identity/client-id: ${var.workload_managed_identity_client_id}
        azure.workload.identity/tenant-id: ${var.tenant_id}
      labels:
        azure.workload.identity/use: "true"
      name: ${var.service_account_name}
      namespace: ${var.namespace}
    EOF

  depends_on = [kubernetes_namespace.namespace]
}

In particular, the kubectl_manifest resource makes use of variables to set the following service account annotations and labels necessary to Microsoft Entra Workload ID. For more information, see Service account labels and annotations.

Simple Chat Application

The Simple Chat Application is a large language model-based chatbot that allows users to submit general-purpose questions to a GPT model, which generates and streams back human-like and engaging conversational responses. The following picture shows the welcome screen of the chat application.

Chainlit Welcome Screen

You can modify the welcome screen in markdown by editing the chainlit.md file at the project's root. If you do not want a welcome screen, leave the file empty. The following picture shows what happens when a user submits a new message in the chat.

Chainlit Simple Chat

Chainlit can render messages in markdown format as shown by the following prompt:

Chainlit Markdown Support

Chainlit also provides classes to support the following elements:

  • Audio: The Audio class allows you to display an audio player for a specific audio file in the chatbot user interface. You must provide either a URL or a path or content bytes.
  • Avatar: The Avatar class allows you to display an avatar image next to a message instead of the author's name. You need to send the element once. Next,, if an avatar's name matches an author's name, the avatar will be automatically displayed. You must provide either a URL or a path or content bytes.
  • File: The File class allows you to display a button that lets users download the content of the file. You must provide either a URL or a path or content bytes.
  • Image: The Image class is designed to create and handle image elements to be sent and displayed in the chatbot user interface. You must provide either a URL or a path or content bytes.
  • Pdf: The Pdf class allows you to display a PDF hosted remotely or locally in the chatbot UI. This class either takes a URL of a PDF hosted online or the path of a local PDF.
  • Pyplot: The Pyplot class allows you to display a Matplotlib pyplot chart in the chatbot UI. This class takes a pyplot figure.
  • TaskList: The TaskList class allows you to display a task list next to the chatbot UI.
  • Text: The Text class allows you to display a text element in the chatbot UI. This class takes a string and creates a text element that can be sent to the UI. It supports the markdown syntax for formatting text. You must provide either a URL or a path or content bytes.

You can click the user icon on the UI to access the chat settings and choose, for example, between the light and dark theme.

Chainlit Dark Mode

The application is built in Python. Let's take a look at the individual parts of the application code. In the following section, the Python code starts by importing the necessary packages/modules.

# Import packages
import os
import sys
from openai import AsyncAzureOpenAI
import logging
import chainlit as cl
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from dotenv import dotenv_values

# Load environment variables from .env file
if os.path.exists(".env"):
    load_dotenv(override=True)
    config = dotenv_values(".env")

These are the libraries used by the chat application:

  1. os: This module provides a way of interacting with the operating system, enabling the code to access environment variables, file paths, etc.
  2. sys: This module provides access to some variables used or maintained by the interpreter and functions that interact with the interpreter.
  3. openai: The OpenAI Python library provides convenient access to the OpenAI API from applications written in Python. It includes a pre-defined set of classes for API resources that initialize themselves dynamically from API responses which makes it compatible with a wide range of versions of the OpenAI API. You can find usage examples for the OpenAI Python library in our API reference and the OpenAI Cookbook.
  4. logging: This module provides flexible logging of messages.
  5. chainlit as cl: This imports the Chainlit library and aliases it as cl. Chainlit is used to create the UI of the application.
  6. from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider: when the openai_type property value is azure_ad, a DefaultAzureCredential object from the Azure Identity client library for Python is used to acquire security token from the Microsoft Entra ID using the credentials of the user-defined managed identity federated with the service account.
  7. load_dotenv and dotenv_values from dotenv: Python-dotenv reads key-value pairs from a .env file and can set them as environment variables. It helps in the development of applications following the 12-factor principles.

The requirements.txt file under the src folder contains the list of packages used by the chat applications. You can restore these packages in your environment using the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

Next, the code reads the value of the environment variables used to initialize Azure OpenAI objects. In addition, it creates a token provider for Azure OpenAI.

# Read environment variables
temperature = float(os.environ.get("TEMPERATURE", 0.9))
api_base = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_BASE")
api_key = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_KEY")
api_type = os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_TYPE", "azure")
api_version = os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_VERSION", "2023-12-01-preview")
engine = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT")
model = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL")
system_content = os.getenv(
    "AZURE_OPENAI_SYSTEM_MESSAGE", "You are a helpful assistant."
)
max_retries = int(os.getenv("MAX_RETRIES", 5))
timeout = int(os.getenv("TIMEOUT", 30))
debug = os.getenv("DEBUG", "False").lower() in ("true", "1", "t")

# Create Token Provider
token_provider = get_bearer_token_provider(
    DefaultAzureCredential(), "https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default"
)

Here's a brief explanation of each variable and related environment variable:

  1. temperature: A float value representing the temperature for Create chat completion method of the OpenAI API. It is fetched from the environment variables with a default value of 0.9.
  2. api_base: The base URL for the OpenAI API.
  3. api_key: The API key for the OpenAI API. The value of this variable can be null when using a user-assigned managed identity to acquire a security token to access Azure OpenAI.
  4. api_type: A string representing the type of the OpenAI API.
  5. api_version: A string representing the version of the OpenAI API.
  6. engine: The engine used for OpenAI API calls.
  7. model: The model used for OpenAI API calls.
  8. system_content: The content of the system message used for OpenAI API calls.
  9. max_retries: The maximum number of retries for OpenAI API calls.
  10. timeout: The timeout in seconds.
  11. debug: When debug is equal to true, t, or 1, the logger writes the chat completion answers.

In the next section, the code creates the AsyncAzureOpenAI client object used by the application to communicate with the Azure OpenAI Service instance. When the api_type is equal to azure, the code initializes the object with the API key. Otherwise, it initializes the azure_ad_token_provider property to the token provider created earlier. Then the code creates a logger.

# Configure OpenAI
if api_type == "azure":
    openai = AsyncAzureOpenAI(
        api_version=api_version,
        api_key=api_key,
        azure_endpoint=api_base,
        max_retries=max_retries,
        timeout=timeout,
    )
else:
    openai = AsyncAzureOpenAI(
        api_version=api_version,
        azure_endpoint=api_base,
        azure_ad_token_provider=token_provider,
        max_retries=max_retries,
        timeout=timeout
    )

# Configure a logger
logging.basicConfig(
    stream=sys.stdout,
    format="[%(asctime)s] {%(filename)s:%(lineno)d} %(levelname)s - %(message)s",
    level=logging.INFO,
)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

The backoff time is calculated using the backoff_in_seconds and attempt variables. It follows the formula backoff_in_seconds * 2 ** attempt + random.uniform(0, 1). This formula increases the backoff time exponentially with each attempt and adds a random value between 0 and 1 to avoid synchronized retries.

Next, the code defines a function called start_chat that is used to initialize the UI when the user connects to the application or clicks the New Chat button.

@cl.on_chat_start
async def start_chat():
    await cl.Avatar(
        name="Chatbot", url="https://cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com/512/8649/8649595.png"
    ).send()
    await cl.Avatar(
        name="Error", url="https://cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com/512/8649/8649595.png"
    ).send()
    await cl.Avatar(
        name="You",
        url="https://media.architecturaldigest.com/photos/5f241de2c850b2a36b415024/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/Luke-logo.png",
    ).send()
    cl.user_session.set(
        "message_history",
        [{"role": "system", "content": system_content}],
    )

Here is a brief explanation of the function steps:

  • @cl.on_chat_start: The on_chat_start decorator registers a callback function start_chat() to be called when the Chainlit chat starts. It is used to set up the chat and send avatars for the Chatbot, Error, and User participants in the chat.
  • cl.Avatar(): the Avatar class allows you to display an avatar image next to a message instead of the author name. You need to send the element once. Next if the name of an avatar matches the name of an author, the avatar will be automatically displayed. You must provide either a URL or a path or content bytes.
  • cl.user_session.set(): This API call sets a value in the user_session dictionary. In this case, it initializes the message_history in the user's session with a system content message, which indicates the start of the chat.

Finally, the application defines the method called whenever the user sends a new message in the chat.

@cl.on_message
async def on_message(message: cl.Message):
    message_history = cl.user_session.get("message_history")
    message_history.append({"role": "user", "content": message.content})
    logger.info("Question: [%s]", message.content)

    # Create the Chainlit response message
    msg = cl.Message(content="")

    async for stream_resp in await openai.chat.completions.create(
        model=model,
        messages=message_history,
        temperature=temperature,
        stream=True,
    ):
        if stream_resp and len(stream_resp.choices) > 0:
            token = stream_resp.choices[0].delta.content or ""
            await msg.stream_token(token)

    if debug:
        logger.info("Answer: [%s]", msg.content)

    message_history.append({"role": "assistant", "content": msg.content})
    await msg.send()

Here is a detailed explanation of the function steps:

  • @cl.on_message: The on_message decorator registers a callback function main(message: str) to be called when the user submits a new message in the chat. It is the main function responsible for handling the chat logic.
  • cl.user_session.get(): This API call retrieves a value from the user's session data stored in the user_session dictionary. In this case, it fetches the message_history from the user's session to maintain the chat history.
  • message_history.append(): This API call appends a new message to the message_history list. It is used to add the user's message and the assistant's response to the chat history.
  • cl.Message(): This API call creates a Chainlit Message object. The Message class is designed to send, stream, edit, or remove messages in the chatbot user interface. In this sample, the Message object is used to stream the OpenAI response in the chat.
  • msg.stream_token(): The stream_token method of the Message class streams a token to the response message. It is used to send the response from the OpenAI Chat API in chunks to ensure real-time streaming in the chat.
  • await openai.chat.completions.create(): This API call sends a message to the OpenAI Chat API in an asynchronous mode and streams the response. It uses the provided message_history as context for generating the assistant's response.

Documents QA Chat

The Documents QA Chat application allows users to submit up to 10 .pdf and .docx documents. The application processes the uploaded documents to create vector embeddings. These embeddings are stored in ChromaDB vector database for efficient retrieval. Users can pose questions about the uploaded documents and view the Chain of Thought, enabling easy exploration of the reasoning process. The completion message contains links to the text chunks in the documents that were used as a source for the response. The following picture shows the chat application interface. As you can see, you can click the Browse button and choose up to 10 .pdf and .docx documents to upload. Alternatively, you can just drag and drop the files over the control area.

Chainlit Upload documents

After uploading the documents, the application creates and stores embeddings to ChromaDB vector database. During the phase, the UI shows a message Processing <file-1>, <file-2>..., as shown in the following picture:

Chainlit Processing Documents

When the code finished creating embeddings, the UI is ready to receive user's questions:

Chainlit Document Reply

As your chat application grows in complexity, understanding the individual steps for generating a specific answer can become challenging. To solve this issue, Chainlit allows you to easily explore the reasoning process right from the user interface using the Chain of Thought. If you are using the LangChain integration, every intermediary step is automatically sent and displayed in the Chainlit UI just clicking and expanding the steps, as shown in the following picture:

Chainlit Chain of Thought

To see the text chunks that were used by the large language model to originate the response, you can click the sources links, as shown in the following picture:

Chainlit Source

In the Chain of Thought, below the step used to invoke the OpenAI chat completion API, you can find an Inspect in prompt playgroung icon. Clicking on it opens the Prompt Playground dialog which allows you to modify and iterate on the prompt as needed.

Chainlit Prompt Playground

As shown in the following picture, you can click and edit the value of the highlighted variables in the user prompt:

Chainlit Prompt Playground Variable

You can then click and edit the user question.

Chainlit Prompt Playground Question

Then, you can click the Submit button to test the effect of your changes, as shown in the following picture.

Chainlit Prompt Playground Reply

Let's take a look at the individual parts of the application code. In the following section, the Python code starts by importing the necessary packages/modules.

# Import packages
import os
import io
import sys
import logging
import chainlit as cl
from chainlit.playground.config import AzureChatOpenAI
from pypdf import PdfReader
from docx import Document
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from dotenv import dotenv_values
from langchain.embeddings import AzureOpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.vectorstores.chroma import Chroma
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain
from langchain.chat_models import AzureChatOpenAI
from langchain.prompts.chat import (
    ChatPromptTemplate,
    SystemMessagePromptTemplate,
    HumanMessagePromptTemplate,
)

# Load environment variables from .env file
if os.path.exists(".env"):
    load_dotenv(override=True)
    config = dotenv_values(".env")

These are the libraries used by the chat application:

  1. os: This module provides a way of interacting with the operating system, enabling the code to access environment variables, file paths, etc.
  2. sys: This module provides access to some variables used or maintained by the interpreter and functions that interact with the interpreter.
  3. time: This module provides various time-related functions for time manipulation and measurement.
  4. openai: the OpenAI Python library provides convenient access to the OpenAI API from applications written in the Python language. It includes a pre-defined set of classes for API resources that initialize themselves dynamically from API responses, which makes it compatible with a wide range of versions of the OpenAI API. You can find usage examples for the OpenAI Python library in our API reference and the OpenAI Cookbook.
  5. logging: This module provides flexible logging of messages.
  6. chainlit as cl: This imports the Chainlit library and aliases it as cl. Chainlit is used to create the UI of the application.
  7. AzureChatOpenAI from chainlit.playground.config import: you need to import AzureChatOpenAI from chainlit.playground.config to use the Chainlit Playground.
  8. DefaultAzureCredential from azure.identity: when the openai_type property value is azure_ad, a DefaultAzureCredential object from the Azure Identity client library for Python - version 1.13.0 is used to acquire security token from the Microsoft Entra ID using the credentials of the user-defined managed identity, whose client ID is defined in the AZURE_CLIENT_ID environment variable.
  9. load_dotenv and dotenv_values from dotenv: Python-dotenv reads key-value pairs from a .env file and can set them as environment variables. It helps in the development of applications following the 12-factor principles.
  10. langchain: Large language models (LLMs) are emerging as a transformative technology, enabling developers to build applications that they previously could not. However, using these LLMs in isolation is often insufficient for creating a truly powerful app - the real power comes when you can combine them with other sources of computation or knowledge. LangChain library aims to assist in the development of those types of applications.

The requirements.txt file under the src folder contains the list of packages used by the chat applications. You can restore these packages in your environment using the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

Next, the code reads environment variables and configures the OpenAI settings.

# Read environment variables
temperature = float(os.environ.get("TEMPERATURE", 0.9))
api_base = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_BASE")
api_key = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_KEY")
api_type = os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_TYPE", "azure")
api_version = os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_VERSION", "2023-12-01-preview")
chat_completion_deployment = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT")
embeddings_deployment = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ADA_DEPLOYMENT")
model = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL")
max_size_mb = int(os.getenv("CHAINLIT_MAX_SIZE_MB", 100))
max_files = int(os.getenv("CHAINLIT_MAX_FILES", 10))
text_splitter_chunk_size = int(os.getenv("TEXT_SPLITTER_CHUNK_SIZE", 1000))
text_splitter_chunk_overlap = int(os.getenv("TEXT_SPLITTER_CHUNK_OVERLAP", 10))
embeddings_chunk_size = int(os.getenv("EMBEDDINGS_CHUNK_SIZE", 16))
max_retries = int(os.getenv("MAX_RETRIES", 5))
retry_min_seconds = int(os.getenv("RETRY_MIN_SECONDS", 1))
retry_max_seconds = int(os.getenv("RETRY_MAX_SECONDS", 5))
timeout = int(os.getenv("TIMEOUT", 30))
debug = os.getenv("DEBUG", "False").lower() in ("true", "1", "t")

# Configure system prompt
system_template = """Use the following pieces of context to answer the users question.
If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know, don't try to make up an answer.
ALWAYS return a "SOURCES" part in your answer.
The "SOURCES" part should be a reference to the source of the document from which you got your answer.

Example of your response should be:

\`\`\`
The answer is foo

----------------
{summaries}"""
messages = [
    SystemMessagePromptTemplate.from_template(system_template),
    HumanMessagePromptTemplate.from_template("{question}"),
]
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(messages)
chain_type_kwargs = {"prompt": prompt}

# Configure a logger
logging.basicConfig(
    stream=sys.stdout,
    format="[%(asctime)s] {%(filename)s:%(lineno)d} %(levelname)s - %(message)s",
    level=logging.INFO,
)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

# Create Token Provider
if api_type == "azure_ad":
    token_provider = get_bearer_token_provider(
        DefaultAzureCredential(), "https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default"
    )

# Setting the environment variables for the playground
if api_type == "azure":
    os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"] = api_key
os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION"] = api_version
os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"] = api_base
os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"] = chat_completion_deployment

Here's a brief explanation of each variable and related environment variable:

  1. temperature: A float value representing the temperature for Create chat completion method of the OpenAI API. It is fetched from the environment variables with a default value of 0.9.
  2. api_base: The base URL for the OpenAI API.
  3. api_key: The API key for the OpenAI API. The value of this variable can be null when using a user-assigned managed identity to acquire a security token to access Azure OpenAI.
  4. api_type: A string representing the type of the OpenAI API.
  5. api_version: A string representing the version of the OpenAI API.
  6. chat_completion_deployment: the name of the Azure OpenAI GPT model for chat completion.
  7. embeddings_deployment: the name of the Azure OpenAI deployment for embeddings.
  8. model: The model used for chat completion calls (e.g, gpt-35-turbo-16k).
  9. max_size_mb: the maximum size for the uploaded documents.
  10. max_files: the maximum number of documents that can be uploaded.
  11. text_splitter_chunk_size: the maximum chunk size used by the RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter object.
  12. text_splitter_chunk_overlap: the maximum chunk overlap used by the RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter object.
  13. embeddings_chunk_size: the maximum chunk size used by the OpenAIEmbeddings object.
  14. max_retries: The maximum number of retries for OpenAI API calls.
  15. retry_min_seconds: the minimum number of seconds before a retry.
  16. retry_max_seconds: the maximum number of seconds before a retry.
  17. timeout: The timeout in seconds.
  18. system_template: The content of the system message used for OpenAI API calls.
  19. debug: When debug is equal to true, t, or 1, the logger switches to verbose mode.

Next, the code defines a function called start_chat that is used to initialize the when the user connects to the application or clicks the New Chat button.

@cl.on_chat_start
async def start_chat():
    # Sending Avatars for Chat Participants
    await cl.Avatar(
        name="Chatbot",
        url="https://cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com/512/8649/8649595.png"
    ).send()
    await cl.Avatar(
        name="Error",
        url="https://cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com/512/8649/8649595.png"
    ).send()
    await cl.Avatar(
        name="You",
        url="https://media.architecturaldigest.com/photos/5f241de2c850b2a36b415024/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/Luke-logo.png"
    ).send()

Here is a brief explanation of the function steps:

  • @cl.on_chat_start: The on_chat_start decorator registers a callback function start_chat() to be called when the Chainlit chat starts. It is used to set up the chat and send avatars for the Chatbot, Error, and User participants in the chat.
  • cl.Avatar(): the Avatar class allows you to display an avatar image next to a message instead of the author name. You need to send the element once. Next if the name of an avatar matches the name of an author, the avatar will be automatically displayed. You must provide either a URL or a path or content bytes.

The following code is used to initialize the large language model (LLM) chain used to reply to questions on the content of the uploaded documents.

    # Initialize the file list to None
    files = None

    # Wait for the user to upload a file
    while files == None:
        files = await cl.AskFileMessage(
            content=f"Please upload up to {max_files} `.pdf` or `.docx` files to begin.",
            accept=[
                "application/pdf",
                "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",
            ],
            max_size_mb=max_size_mb,
            max_files=max_files,
            timeout=86400,
            raise_on_timeout=False,
        ).send()

The AskFileMessage API call prompts the user to upload up to a specified number of .pdf or .docx files. The uploaded files are stored in the files variable. The process continues until the user uploads files. For more information, see AskFileMessage.

The following code processes each uploaded file by extracting its content.

  1. The text content of each file is stored in the list all_texts.
  2. This code performs text processing and chunking. It checks the file extension to read the file content accordingly, depending on if it's a .pdf or a .docx document.
  3. The text content is split into smaller chunks using the RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter LangChain object.
  4. Metadata is created for each chunk and stored in the metadatas list.
    # Create a message to inform the user that the files are being processed
    content = ""
    if len(files) == 1:
        content = f"Processing `{files[0].name}`..."
    else:
        files_names = [f"`{f.name}`" for f in files]
        content = f"Processing {', '.join(files_names)}..."
    logger.info(content)
    msg = cl.Message(content=content, author="Chatbot")
    await msg.send()

    # Create a list to store the texts of each file
    all_texts = []

    # Process each file uplodaded by the user
    for file in files:
        # Read file contents
        with open(file.path, "rb") as uploaded_file:
            file_contents = uploaded_file.read()

        logger.info("[%d] bytes were read from %s", len(file_contents), file.path)

        # Create an in-memory buffer from the file content
        bytes = io.BytesIO(file_contents)

        # Get file extension
        extension = file.name.split(".")[-1]

        # Initialize the text variable
        text = ""

        # Read the file
        if extension == "pdf":
            reader = PdfReader(bytes)
            for i in range(len(reader.pages)):
                text += reader.pages[i].extract_text()
                if debug:
                    logger.info("[%s] read from %s", text, file.path)
        elif extension == "docx":
            doc = Document(bytes)
            paragraph_list = []
            for paragraph in doc.paragraphs:
                paragraph_list.append(paragraph.text)
                if debug:
                    logger.info("[%s] read from %s", paragraph.text, file.path)
            text = "\n".join(paragraph_list)

        # Split the text into chunks
        text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(
            chunk_size=text_splitter_chunk_size,
            chunk_overlap=text_splitter_chunk_overlap,
        )
        texts = text_splitter.split_text(text)

        # Add the chunks and metadata to the list
        all_texts.extend(texts)

    # Create a metadata for each chunk
    metadatas = [{"source": f"{i}-pl"} for i in range(len(all_texts))]

The next piece of code performs the following steps:

  1. It creates an AzureOpenAIEmbeddings configured to use the embeddings model in the Azure OpenAI Service to create embeddings from text chunks.
  2. It creates a ChromaDB vector database using the OpenAIEmbeddings object, the text chunks list, and the metadata list.
  3. It creates an AzureChatOpenAI LangChain object based on the GPR model hosted in Azure OpenAI Service.
  4. It creates a chain using the RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain.from_chain_type API call uses previously created models and stores them as retrievers.
  5. It stores the metadata and text chunks in the user session using the cl.user_session.set() API call.
  6. It creates a message to inform the user that the files are ready for queries, and finally returns the chain.
  7. The cl.user_session.set("chain", chain) call stores the LLM chain in the user_session dictionary for later use.
    # Create a Chroma vector store

The following code handles the communication with the OpenAI API and incorporates retrying logic in case the API calls fail due to specific errors.

  • @cl.on_message: The on_message decorator registers a callback function main(message: str) to be called when the user submits a new message in the chat. It is the main function responsible for handling the chat logic.
  • cl.user_session.get("chain"): this call retrieves the LLM chain from the user_session dictionary.
  • cl.AsyncLangchainCallbackHandler: this call creates a LangChain callback handler.
  • await chain.acall: The asynchronous call to the RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain.acall executes the LLM chain with the user message as an input.
@cl.on_message
async def main(message: cl.Message):
    # Retrieve the chain from the user session
    chain = cl.user_session.get("chain")

    # Create a callback handler
    cb = cl.AsyncLangchainCallbackHandler()

    # Get the response from the chain
    response = await chain.acall(message.content, callbacks=[cb])
    logger.info("Question: [%s]", message.content)

The code below extracts the answers and sources from the API response and formats them to be sent as a message.

  • The answer and sources are obtained from the response dictionary.
  • The sources are then processed to find corresponding texts in the user session metadata (metadatas) and create source_elements using cl.Text().
  • cl.Message().send(): the Message API creates and displays a message containing the answer and sources, if available.
  • The last command sets the AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable to a security key to access Azure OpenAI returned by the token provider. This key is used by the Chainlit playground.
    # Get the answer and sources from the response
    answer = response["answer"]
    sources = response["sources"].strip()
    source_elements = []

    if debug:
        logger.info("Answer: [%s]", answer)

Build Docker Images

You can use the src/01-build-docker-images.sh Bash script to build the Docker container image for each container app.

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
source ./00-variables.sh

# Use a for loop to build the docker images using the array index
for index in ${!images[@]}; do
  # Build the docker image
  docker build -t ${images[$index]}:$tag -f Dockerfile --build-arg FILENAME=${filenames[$index]} --build-arg PORT=$port .
done

Before running any script in the src folder, make sure to customize the value of the variables inside the 00-variables.sh file located in the same folder. This file is embedded in all the scripts and contains the following variables:

# Variables

# Azure Container Registry
prefix="Contoso"
acrName="${prefix}Registry"
acrResourceGrougName="${prefix}RG"
location="EastUS"

# Python Files
docAppFile="doc.py"
chatAppFile="chat.py"

# Docker Images
docImageName="doc"
chatImageName="chat"
tag="v1"
port="8000"

# Arrays
images=($docImageName $chatImageName)
filenames=($docAppFile $chatAppFile)

The Dockerfile under the src folder is parametric and can be used to build the container images for both chat applications.

# app/Dockerfile

# # Stage 1 - Install build dependencies

# A Dockerfile must start with a FROM instruction which sets the base image for the container.
# The Python images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
# The python:3.11-slim image is a good base image for most applications.
# It is a minimal image built on top of Debian Linux and includes only the necessary packages to run Python.
# The slim image is a good choice because it is small and contains only the packages needed to run Python.
# For more information, see: 
# * https://hub.docker.com/_/python 
# * https://docs.streamlit.io/knowledge-base/tutorials/deploy/docker
FROM python:3.11-slim AS builder

# The WORKDIR instruction sets the working directory for any RUN, CMD, ENTRYPOINT, COPY and ADD instructions that follow it in the Dockerfile.
# If the WORKDIR doesn’t exist, it will be created even if it’s not used in any subsequent Dockerfile instruction.
# For more information, see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#workdir
WORKDIR /app

# Set environment variables. 
# The ENV instruction sets the environment variable <key> to the value <value>.
# This value will be in the environment of all “descendant” Dockerfile commands and can be replaced inline in many as well.
# For more information, see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#env
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

# Install git so that we can clone the app code from a remote repo using the RUN instruction.
# The RUN comand has 2 forms:
# * RUN <command> (shell form, the command is run in a shell, which by default is /bin/sh -c on Linux or cmd /S /C on Windows)
# * RUN ["executable", "param1", "param2"] (exec form)
# The RUN instruction will execute any commands in a new layer on top of the current image and commit the results. 
# The resulting committed image will be used for the next step in the Dockerfile.
# For more information, see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#run
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
  build-essential \
  curl \
  software-properties-common \
  git \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Create a virtualenv to keep dependencies together
RUN python -m venv /opt/venv
ENV PATH="/opt/venv/bin:$PATH"

# Clone the requirements.txt which contains dependencies to WORKDIR
# COPY has two forms:
# * COPY <src> <dest> (this copies the files from the local machine to the container's own filesystem)
# * COPY ["<src>",... "<dest>"] (this form is required for paths containing whitespace)
# For more information, see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#copy
COPY requirements.txt .

# Install the Python dependencies
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --no-deps -r requirements.txt

# Stage 2 - Copy only necessary files to the runner stage

# The FROM instruction initializes a new build stage for the application
FROM python:3.11-slim

# Define the filename to copy as an argument
ARG FILENAME

# Deefine the port to run the application on as an argument
ARG PORT=8000

# Set an environment variable
ENV FILENAME=${FILENAME}

# Sets the working directory to /app
WORKDIR /app

# Copy the virtual environment from the builder stage
COPY --from=builder /opt/venv /opt/venv

# Set environment variables
ENV PATH="/opt/venv/bin:$PATH"

# Clone the $FILENAME containing the application code
COPY $FILENAME .

# Copy the chainlit.md file to the working directory
COPY chainlit.md .

# Copy the .chainlit folder to the working directory
COPY ./.chainlit ./.chainlit

# The EXPOSE instruction informs Docker that the container listens on the specified network ports at runtime.
# For more information, see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#expose
EXPOSE $PORT

# The ENTRYPOINT instruction has two forms:
# * ENTRYPOINT ["executable", "param1", "param2"] (exec form, preferred)
# * ENTRYPOINT command param1 param2 (shell form)
# The ENTRYPOINT instruction allows you to configure a container that will run as an executable.
# For more information, see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#entrypoint
CMD chainlit run $FILENAME --port=$PORT

Test applications locally

You can use the src/02-run-docker-container.sh Bash script to test the containers for the sender, processor, and receiver applications.

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
source ./00-variables.sh

Push Docker containers to the Azure Container Registry

You can use the src/03-push-docker-image.sh Bash script to push the Docker container images for the sender, processor, and receiver applications to the Azure Container Registry (ACR).

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
source ./00-variables.sh

# Login to ACR
az acr login --name $acrName 

# Retrieve ACR login server. Each container image needs to be tagged with the loginServer name of the registry. 
loginServer=$(az acr show --name $acrName --query loginServer --output tsv)

# Use a for loop to tag and push the local docker images to the Azure Container Registry
for index in ${!images[@]}; do
  # Tag the local sender image with the loginServer of ACR
  docker tag ${images[$index],,}:$tag $loginServer/${images[$index],,}:$tag

  # Push the container image to ACR
  docker push $loginServer/${images[$index],,}:$tag
done

Deployment Scripts

If you deployed the Azure infrastructure using the Terraform modules provided with this sample, you only need to deploy the application using the following scripts and YAML templates in the scripts folder.

Scripts:

  • 09-deploy-apps.sh
  • 10-configure-dns.sh

YAML manifests:

  • configMap.yml
  • deployment.yml
  • ingress.yml
  • service.yml

If you instead want to deploy the application in your AKS cluster, make sure to run all of the scripts in order.

The 09-deploy-apps.sh script creates the configmap, deployment, service, and ingress Kubernetes objects for the chat and docs applications. This script makes use of the yq tool to customize the manifests with the value of the variables defined in the 00-variables.sh file. This tool is a lightweight and portable command-line YAML, JSON and XML processor that uses jq like syntax but works with YAML files as well as json, xml, properties, csv and tsv. It doesn't yet support everything jq does - but it does support the most common operations and functions, and more is being added continuously.

#!/bin/bash

YAML manifests

Below you can read the YAML manifests used to deploy the chat chatbot to AKS. For brevity, I will cover only the installation of this application, but you can find all the YAML manifests in the companion GitHub repository. The chat-configmap.yml defines a value for the environment variables passed to the application container. The configmap does not define any environment variable for the OpenAI key as the container.

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: chat-configmap
data:
  TEMPERATURE: "0.9"
  AZURE_OPENAI_TYPE: azure_ad
  AZURE_OPENAI_BASE: https://contoso.openai.azure.com/
  AZURE_OPENAI_KEY: ""
  AZURE_OPENAI_VERSION: 2023-12-01-preview
  AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT: gpt-35-turbo
  AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL: gpt-35-turbo
  AZURE_OPENAI_SYSTEM_MESSAGE: "You are a helpful assistant."
  MAX_RETRIES: "5"
  TIMEOUT: "30"
  DEBUG: "False"

These are the parameters defined by the configmap:

  • TEMPERATURE: the temperature used by the OpenAI API to generate the response.
  • AZURE_OPENAI_TYPE: specify azure if you want to let the application use the API key to authenticate against OpenAI. In this case, make sure to provide the Key in the AZURE_OPENAI_KEY environment variable. If you want to authenticate using an Microsoft Entra ID security token, you need to specify azure_ad as a value. In this case, don't need to provide any value in the AZURE_OPENAI_KEY environment variable.
  • AZURE_OPENAI_BASE: the URL of your Azure OpenAI resource. If you use the API key to authenticate against OpenAI, you can specify the regional endpoint of your Azure OpenAI Service (e.g., https://eastus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/). If you instead plan to use Microsoft Entra ID security tokens for authentication, you need to deploy your Azure OpenAI Service with a subdomain and specify the resource-specific endpoint url (e.g., https://myopenai.openai.azure.com/).
  • AZURE_OPENAI_KEY: the key of your Azure OpenAI resource. If you set AZURE_OPENAI_TYPE to azure_ad you can leave this parameter empty.
  • AZURE_OPENAI_VERSION: A string representing the version of the OpenAI API.
  • AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT: the name of the ChatGPT deployment used by your Azure OpenAI resource, for example gpt-35-turbo.
  • AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL: the name of the ChatGPT model used by your Azure OpenAI resource, for example gpt-35-turbo.
  • AZURE_OPENAI_SYSTEM_MESSAGE: The content of the system message used for OpenAI API calls. You can use it to describe the assistant's personality.

The chat-deployment.yml manifest is used create a Kubernetes deployment that defines the application pods to create. azure.workload.identity/use label is required in the pod template spec. Only pods with this label will be mutated by the azure-workload-identity mutating admission webhook to inject the Azure specific environment variables and the projected service account token volume.

The application is exposed using a ClusterIP Kubernetes service.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: chat
  labels:
    app: chat
spec:
  type: ClusterIP
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 8000
  selector:
    app: chat

The ingress.yml manifest defines a Kubernetes ingress object used to expose the service via the NGINX Ingress Controller. This project deploys a managed NGINX Ingress Controller using the application routing add-on and an unmanaged instance of the NGINX Ingress Controller using the Helm Terrafom Provider and related chart. The Terraform module creates two clusterissuer objects, one for the managed and one for the unmanaged version of the NGINX Ingress Controller. You can run the following command to see the two ingress classes:

kubectl get ingressclass

Executing the command will produce a result as follows:

NAME                                 CONTROLLER                                 PARAMETERS   AGE
nginx                                k8s.io/ingress-nginx                       <none>       4d
webapprouting.kubernetes.azure.com   webapprouting.kubernetes.azure.com/nginx   <none>       4d22h

Run the following command to retrieve the cluster issuers used by the cert-manager:

kubectl get clusterissuer

The above command should return a result as follows:

NAME                        READY   AGE
letsencrypt-nginx           True    4d2h
letsencrypt-webapprouting   True    4d2h

The chat-ingress contains the code of the ingress object used to expose the chat application. This version of the ingress makes use of the unmanaged instance of the NGINX Ingress Controller.

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:

            port:

The ingress object defines the following annotations:

Clean up resources

You can delete the resource group using the following Azure CLI command when you no longer need the resources you created. This will remove all the Azure resources.

az group delete --name <resource-group-name>

Alternatively, you can use the following PowerShell cmdlet to delete the resource group and all the Azure resources.

Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name <resource-group-name>
