fAI Remote Connection
Goal: Run a fAI server for your workspace.
Open fAI -> Manage Remote Connection. "Your fAI server runs fAI for this workspace, with a web app, an MCP server and an API. Choose its address and provision it. It deploys into your connected Azure subscription, or into Fathym’s shared cloud when none is connected."
Before you start
Nothing else is needed. A cloud connection and landing zone are not required; without a connected cloud the server goes to Fathym's shared cloud.
Provision
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| Server address | For example my-fai. "Lower-case letters, digits and hyphens, starting with a letter. It names the server’s URLs and cannot be changed once provisioned." |
Provision fAI server starts it: "Provisioning started. The build and deploy run in the background." The window follows it in Latest deployment.
Once it is live
"Your fAI server is deployed. Redeploy rebuilds it from the pinned fAI source and replaces its three containers."
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Redeploy | Rebuilds the server: "Redeploy started. The build and deploy run in the background." |
| Remove | Asks first: "This queues the fAI server and its three containers for removal. The removal runs on your next Deploy." Queue removal confirms; Cancel backs out |
After Queue removal: "Removal queued. It runs on your next Deploy." The server keeps running until then. The window has no start or stop control.
Save and Deploy
| Action | When it takes effect |
|---|---|
| Provision fAI server | At once, in the background |
| Redeploy | At once, in the background |
| Queue removal | On the next Deploy |
Rights
The window checks no access right of its own.
Azi and agents
The fAI server is set up by a person in this window; it is not proposed.
