Azure Functions Serverless Deployment - Tutorial

Introduction to Serverless Functions

Serverless functions are a powerful way to deploy code without managing servers. This tutorial introduces the basic concepts and steps involved in deploying an Azure Functions function.

Prerequisites

You'll need: An Azure account, a Microsoft account, and a basic understanding of Azure. Consider running the example first for a quick test.

Access the Azure portal: https://portal.azure.com/

Create a new Resource Group: create a resource group

Create a new Function App: create a function app

Step 1: Create the Function

Navigate to your Function App in the Azure portal. Click 'Create' then select 'Function Web App'.

Give the function a name (e.g., MyFunction). Choose the appropriate runtime (e.g., Python, C#).

Step 2: Configure the Function

In the function editor, set the trigger (e.g., HTTP trigger, Timer trigger).

Define the function body. This is where you write the code that will execute.

Step 3: Deploy the Function

In the function editor, click 'Deploy to Azure Function'. Select your function and the target runtime.

Click 'Deploy'. The function will be deployed to Azure.

Step 4: Test the Function

Open your web browser and go to: test-function

Congratulations, you have deployed your first Azure Functions serverless function!
