Create supporting Azure resources for your function

Before you can deploy your function code to Azure, you need to create three resources:

  • A resource group, which is a logical container for related resources.
  • A Storage account, which maintains state and other information about your projects.
  • A function app, which provides the environment for executing your function code. A function app maps to your local function project and lets you group functions as a logical unit for easier management, deployment, and sharing of resources.

Use the following commands to create these items. Both Azure CLI and PowerShell are supported.

  1. If you haven't done so already, sign in to Azure:

    Azure CLI

    az login

    The az login command signs you into your Azure account.

    Azure PowerShell

    Connect-AzAccount

    The Connect-AzAccount cmdlet signs you into your Azure account.

  2. Create a resource group named AzureFunctionsQuickstart-rg in the westeurope region:

    Azure CLI

    az group create --name AzureFunctionsQuickstart-rg --location westeurope

    The az group create command creates a resource group. You generally create your resource group and resources in a region near you, using an available region returned from the az account list-locations command.

    Azure PowerShell

    New-AzResourceGroup -Name AzureFunctionsQuickstart-rg -Location westeurope

    The New-AzResourceGroup command creates a resource group. You generally create your resource group and resources in a region near you, using an available region returned from the Get-AzLocation cmdlet.

  3. Create a general-purpose storage account in your resource group and region:

    Azure CLI

    az storage account create --name <STORAGE_NAME> --location westeurope --resource-group AzureFunctionsQuickstart-rg --sku Standard_LRS

    The az storage account create command creates the storage account.

    Azure PowerShell

    New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName AzureFunctionsQuickstart-rg -Name <STORAGE_NAME> -SkuName Standard_LRS -Location westeurope

    The New-AzStorageAccount cmdlet creates the storage account.

    In the previous example, replace <STORAGE_NAME> with a name that is appropriate to you and unique in Azure Storage. Names must contain three to 24 characters numbers and lowercase letters only. Standard_LRS specifies a general-purpose account, which is supported by Functions.
