Here’s an overview of how to create and configure an Azure Function using both the Azure portal and PowerShell:
Using Azure Portal:
Step 1: Log in to the Azure Portal and create a new Function App resource.
Step 2: In the Function App, create a new Function by selecting the “Functions” tab and choosing a template based on your needs. You can choose from various templates such as HTTP trigger, timer trigger, and Blob trigger.
Step 3: Configure the Function by providing details such as the function name, language, and authentication method.
Step 4: Once the Function is created, you can test it by invoking it from within the portal or through an HTTP request
Using PowerShell:
Step 1: Install the Azure PowerShell module on your local machine.
Step 2: Connect to your Azure account by running the following command: Connect-AzAccount
Step 3: Create a new Function App resource by running the following command:
New-AzFunctionApp -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -Name <FunctionAppName> -StorageAccountName <StorageAccountName> -AppServicePlanName <AppServicePlanName> -Runtime <Runtime>
Step 4: Create a new Function by running the following command:
New-AzFunction -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -Name <FunctionName> -FunctionAppName <FunctionAppName> -TemplateHttpTrigger
Step 5: Configure the Function by providing details such as the function name, language, and authentication method using the Set-AzFunctionAppSetting command.
Step 6: Once the Function is created, you can test it by invoking it through an HTTP request.
In summary, creating and configuring an Azure Function can be done using both the Azure portal and PowerShell. Both methods provide a simple and straightforward way to create, configure, and test Functions.
