Exciting New Features for GitHub Copilot for Azure

[CHarris]

We've been on a roll adding new features to the private preview and we've added some of my favorites in our latest release!

Building Apps for Azure 🏗​

• Need help starting a new Azure project? Try asking [URL='https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73893']@azure[/URL] for help with your idea for a new project! [URL='https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73893']@azure[/URL] can now look up developer templates that could be a good starting point for what you're trying to build. Here's an example:
  "@azure help me get started with a Python RAG application"

Deploying to Azure ​

• You can once again ask [URL='https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73893']@azure[/URL] for help with init'ing, deploying, and creating pipelines for your Azure projects via the Azure developer CLI (azd), and expect to receive more than just simple text responses in return. Clone a project from the Awesome AZD site and try this:
  "@azure help me deploy this app to Azure"

GPT-4o​

• [URL='https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73893']@azure[/URL] is now using GPT-4o for more accurate, faster answers. (If you haven't used it in a while the speed difference will blow you away!)

Slash Commands​

Slash commands have made their return to [URL='https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73893']@azure[/URL] and you're in control!

• Use [URL='https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73893']@azure[/URL] /learn ... to learn about Azure
• Use [URL='https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73893']@azure[/URL] /resources ... to get information about your Azure resources

Give them a try and let me know what your favorite is!
