Hello @Murphy, David
Sorry for the late response and thank you for reaching out to us.
I just got a confirmation from the product manager, there is no announcement or public plans of Azure OpenAI for UK datacenters at this moment. I am sorry for your inconvenience.
If you would like to provide more information about your scenario and usage, I am happy to help you share your feedback to the product manager directly.
For the question two, if you would like some help from support team in EU to see if we can have any workaround for your scenario, I would like to enable you a free support ticket for help, please let me know if you need so.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Yutong
