When deploying an Azure OpenAI model using the Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/deployments resource in an ARM template, the throughput for a Standard deployment is set on the SKU object. Specifically:

Use the capacity field of the SKU to specify the per-deployment rate.

Provide the integer value that represents the requests per minute (RPM) you want the deployment to handle.

Therefore, to meet the requirement of 600 requests per minute , complete the template as:

" sku " : {

" name " : " Standard " ,

" capacity " : 600

}

This uses a single deployment SKU with a defined capacity. The ARM schema for accounts/deployments explicitly includes sku.capacity for resources that support scale (Azure OpenAI deployments do), and Azure OpenAI quota/rate-limit guidance confirms that rate limits are assigned per deployment.
