Mastering Azure Serverless Computing

Deploying and Configuring Your Azure Functions

In the previous chapters, you learned how to create and implement the code behind an Azure Function, but this step is only the first one on the way to building your own solution based on Azure Functions. Once you have your code (and, of course, once you have debugged it), you need to deploy it on Azure and configure it.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

• Creating your Azure function app to contain your Azure Functions
• Deploying your Azure functions on Azure using different techniques
• Understanding what deployment slots are
• Kudu: the Azure Function deployment service
• Configuring your Azure Functions
• Reading the app settings in your Azure Function
