It allows you to use gpt2 api in a simple way.

The access token will need to be added as an Action secret. Create one with enough permissions to write to packages.

You'll need the following:

1. An Azure subscription ID find it here or follow this guide
2. A Service Principal with the following details the AppID, password, and tenant information. Create one with: az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "REST API Service Principal" and assign the IAM role for the subscription. Alternatively set the proper role access using the following command (use a real subscription id and replace it):

az ad sp create-for-rbac --name "CICD" --role contributor --scopes /subscriptions/$AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID --sdk-auth

Make sure you have one instance already created, and then capture the name and resource group. These will be used in the workflow file.

Make sure you use 2 CPU cores and 4GB of memory per container. Otherwise you may get an error because loading HuggingFace with FastAPI requires significant memory upfront.

There are a few things that might get you into a failed state when deploying:

• Not having enough RAM per container
• Not using authentication for accessing the remote registry (ghcr.io in this case). Authentication is always required
• Not using a PAT (Personal Access Token) or using a PAT that doesn't have write permissions for "packages".
• Different port than 80 in the container. By default Azure Container Apps use 80. Update to match the container.

If running into trouble, check logs in the portal or use the following with the Azure CLI:

az containerapp logs  show  --name $CONTAINER_APP_NAME --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --follow

Update both variables to match your environment

Although there are a few best practices for using the FastAPI framework, there are many different other suggestions to build solid HTTP APIs that can be applicable anywhere.

The HTTP specification has several error codes available. Make use of the appropriate error code to match the condition that caused it. For example the 401 HTTP code can be used when access is unauthorized. You shouldn't use a single error code as a catch-all error.

Here are some common scenarios associated with HTTP error codes:

• 400 Bad request: Use this to indicate a schema problem. For example if the server expected a string but got an integer
• 401 Unauthorized: When authentication is required and it wasn't present or satisfied
• 404 Not found: When the resource doesn't exist

Note that it is a good practice to use 404 Not Found to protect from requests that try to find if a resource exists without being authenticated. A good example of this is a service that doesn't want to expose usernames unless you are authenticated.
