Explore connections and runtimes

When you create a Large Language Model (LLM) application with prompt flow, you first need to configure any necessary connections and runtimes.

Whenever you want your flow to connect to external data source, service, or API, you need your flow to be authorized to communicate with that external service. When you create a connection, you configure a secure link between prompt flow and external services, ensuring seamless and safe data communication.

Depending on the type of connection you create, the connection securely stores the endpoint, API key, or credentials necessary for prompt flow to communicate with the external service. Any necessary secrets aren’t exposed to users, but instead are stored in an Azure Key Vault.

By setting up connections, users can easily reuse external services necessary for tools in their flows.
