Azure Functions allows businesses and individual developers to run workloads of varying intensity in the cloud without the need to manage servers. These serverless applications can automatically scale based on demand, ensuring that resources are always available when needed. Azure Functions is also very cost-effective since it bills you only for the functions you use.

In this course, you’ll focus on the .NET implementations of Azure Functions. You’ll start by learning how to build, configure, and deploy these functions. Next, you’ll explore running Azure Functions in a development environment and examine the different types of functions and the various ways to trigger them. Finally, you’ll learn how to orchestrate, scale, and secure Azure Functions.

By the end of this course, you will have gained a comprehensive understanding of the full development cycle of .NET-based Azure functions. You will be equipped to build, deploy, and manage Azure functions in a .NET environment.

Building and Deploying Azure Functions in .NET

There is no difference. They are interchangeable terms.

Triggers can only be used for input while bindings can only be used for output.

Triggers execute the function when a specific event occurs while bindings are linked to the input and output of the function.

Triggers deal with HTTP while bindings deal with any other connection types.

What is the difference between a trigger and a binding in the context of Azure Functions?

What is the default path for an OpenAPI page in a function with the HTTP trigger?

What is the default path for an OpenAPI page in a function with the HTTP trigger?

A trigger is controlled by the shape of the input parameters and not any attribute.

Where would we need to apply a trigger-related attribute in a function to enable a specific type?

They are used to define the URL path to the function.

They are used to apply any arbitrary name to a specific function.

The name of the function is derived from the method name, but these optional attributes can override it.

They mark a method as a function entry point and give it a unique name.

What best defines the purpose of the `Function` or `FunctionName` attribute in a function?

What best defines the purpose of the <code>Function</code> or <code>FunctionName</code> attribute in a function?

An emulator can run in a Docker container.
