How to Create an Azure Function App Using C# | .NET 6

Learn how to create an Azure Function App using C# and how to run it on the Azure cloud. Learn how to manage the resource in the Azure portal and how to create an Azure Functions project in Visual Studio 2022.
This video tutorial is an introduction to Azure Functions using C# and .NET 6 to implement serverless functions.
Azure Functions is the serverless service on Microsoft Azure. It can be compared to AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions.
Azure Functions provides an event-driven, serverless platform to solve problems using various programming languages.
In comparison to Azure App Service, Azure Functions allows developers to focus on problem-solving instead of dealing with a web server or application hosting.
In this video, we will create a Function App in the Azure Portal, create an Azure Function project in Visual Studio, and deploy the implemented Function App onto the Microsoft Azure cloud.

What is your favorite Azure service? 👀

[@Paraclete333]

ACI

[@driversteve9345]

Currently, Azure App Functions because it's serverless and they give us a generous amount of free resources to use before having to pay a penny!

[@christopherschmidt8854]

Hard to pick just one: App Services, Azure SQL Server, Azure Function, Azure Key Vault and Azure Service Bus. These are really all my favorites. They make my life soooo much easier... Oh and I can't forget Azure DevOps to deploy everything I write...

[@oldcet5277]

This is my first time using Azure and out of all the other tutorials I watched you're the only one that managed to explain very well and quickly. Nice video

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you very much. 🙏🙂

[@matheusosa]

I agree. I feel it's very hard to do the jump from local application development to cloud-based application development. Small steps are always appreciated!

[@superyRun]

Beautiful how Visual Studio neatly integrates with Azure!

[@jimmym87]

Awesome - worked straight away, this is the most straight-forward introduction to Azure Function Apps I've seen!

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thanks, Jamie. I put a lot of effort into it. Great to hear it still works the same. 👍

[@florianb.9367]

A perfect fast and good intro about that Thank you :))

[@iljashtob]

Thanks, calculator ready! Now Will try changing my c# application to Azure function

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Good luck! 🙂

[@chairmakerPete]

A tutorial that worked first time - yay!
Thank you - very helpful, and awesome to think of the power this affords the developer.
Presumably the security token can be stored in the app or key vault and submitted each time? Does it expire at any point?

[@rocket4u]

crisp and clean video, Thank you

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you. 🙏

[@archinorval294]

Very well constructed video, thank you.... Would like a full set of videos about all the types etc... will watch them all

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you. What types do you want to see? 😎

[@dmlundgren]

Excellent quick start! Thank you...

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thanks, very kind of you. 🙏

[@argeljosephpamintuan3326]

thanks for the tutorial. now I know now what a cloud function looks like

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thanks for your kind feedback. I'm glad I could help you. Good luck on your .NET journey.

Perfect video, thanks! Subscribed immediately

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you and welcome Zoran. 😎

[@santoshanjani3860]

Beautiful 🎉. You content is very easy to understand, super. Thanks!

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you for the kind words. 👍

[@pragmatic-pr]

Simple and elegant

[@debkelly63]

Great video! I got my first function up and running.

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Lovely! Great you got it working.

[@sorinvasiliu]

awesome! thank you

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you, Sorin. 🙏

[@WalkWithShahul]

Thanks..Very easy to follow..

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you so much, Shahul! 🙏

[@leehobbs4033]

I followed these instructions (great minimalist tutorial BTW) but the Azure portal says "Your app is currently in read only mode because you are running from a package file. To make any changes update the content in your zip file and WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE app setting." and doesn't show my function.

[@andreaskarz]

Definitiv the Function App - it's so helpfull for Microservices without all the Docker things.

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

I haven't explored all the variations and options yet but it's nice to have Functions in your toolbelt for when you need them.

[@lmormilho]

wowwww very good...tks tks tks

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

You're welcome! 😉

[@vigneashselvaraj3592]

Excellent brief.

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you!

[@santhanakrishnan3275]

great video. Thanks.

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you! 😉

[@VinhPham-hz8ny]

thank you for making it so easy to understand. If I want a vendor to call that function, do I need to do any kind of authentication or just generate the url for the vendor?

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

I depends on your use case. You can use authentication, but you don't have to use it.

[@exodocs]

thanks!

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thanks for watching.

[@rockingrebel143]

Thankyou, this tutorial helps.. Do you have any other full tutorial on Azure functions?

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thank you very much! Right now, I don't have any, however, I will record new videos based on .NET 8 in the future!

[@harshpatel-wr1jl]

😍

[@parikshithshivaprakash5523]

how did you select the subscription I didn't get that you didn't explained I needed that only

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

Thanks for your comment. This video assumes that you are familiar with the basics of Microsoft Azure, otherwise, it will be hard to grasp how individual services work. Nonetheless, I suggest following this tutorial to set up your account and a subscription. www.educative.io/answers/how-to-create-a-microsoft-azure-subscription

[@parikshithshivaprakash5523]

I have subscription but it says read only in the azure function app@@ClaudioBernasconi

[@andreaskarz]

It's WestUS2 not the cheapest region?

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

I don't know. I mostly use West Europe because it's the closest location to where I live.

[@keenancollison4740]

You beautiful man

[@driversteve9345]

So if .NET 6 support ends on Nov 8th, 2024, what's replacing .NET 6??
Why is the support for these new versions of .NET ending so soon?? Why would any sane company want to build a new project in .NET when the support for it will end in a matter of a few years?? WTF????

[@ClaudioBernasconi]

As far as I understand, .NET is backward compatible, which indicates that upgrading from one major version to the next should be a simple task compared to running a software company and developing a product. This way, you're using a platform evolving with your application(s).
If you put in the effort to upgrade from one LTS version to the next, you'll have to upgrade every three years.
I don't want to glorify Microsoft, nor do I want to hate on them. For me, this policy is decent. What would be your dream platform? Something that's done and completed in 2020 and doesn't change but run smoothly in 2030? How do you handle security issues in that case? I'm here to learn, so I appreciate you taking the time to comment here. Thank you.
