In my previous blog post, we looked at how to run Azure Function in a Docker Container locally using Docker desktop. In this blog post, we will see how to run the Azure Function container in Azure.
Steps to run Azure Function in Container
- Create an Azure Function by choosing the right resource plan, resource group, a region with a storage account, and Application Insights for monitoring support. As part of the provisioning key things to support containerization, you need to choose the “Publish” option with “Docker Container” as shown below.
Choose the hosting options based on your requirements like App-service plan or Premium.
- Once the Azure Function is provisioned navigate to the overview tab then you will be seeing a warning to configure container settings as shown below.
- Clicking on “Configure container settings” provides options to choose container image from Image source like Azure Container Registry, Docker hub, Private Registry
- For our demo, I have a container image in ACR and as part of configuring the container setting, it provides options to choose the image and its tag. Once the container is chosen, click on the Save option
- Now let’s navigate to “Functions” will be able to see the Azure Function name along with the trigger type. In our demo, it’s an HTTP trigger function of Azure Function v3.
- Clicking on the Azure Function name will provide an option to test and run just like any other Azure Function code.
- Now, let’s test our Azure Function by browsing the function URL in the browser.
