Creating and Deploying Azure Functions using Azure Functions Core Tools
In this lab, you will learn how to create and deploy Azure Functions using Azure Functions Core Tools.
Lab Overview & Objectives
Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables you to run code on-demand without explicitly provisioning or managing infrastructure. It allows developers to focus on writing code that matters most to their business while Azure handles the infrastructure scaling, maintenance, and management. Azure Functions Core Tools provide a local development environment for writing, testing, and debugging Functions before deploying them to Azure.
Objectives
Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:
- Create and test Azure Functions locally using different triggers (HTTP, Timer, Blob)
- Deploy Functions to Azure using Core Tools CLI
- Implement best practices for Function development and testing
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of C#, JavaScript, or Python
- Familiarity with command-line interfaces
- Visual Studio Code or preferred code editor
- .NET Core SDK installed
Target Audience
This lab is designed for:
- Software developers transitioning to cloud development
- DevOps engineers working with Azure services
- Cloud architects exploring serverless architectures
- Students and professionals looking to enhance their Azure skills
