The repository https://github.com/Azure/functions-action is currently disabled, preventing any github actions that use Azure/functions-action@v1 from working. Will this be resolved, or is there a new deployment action that I should be switching to?

Azure Functions
Azure Functions

An Azure service that provides an event-driven serverless compute platform.

    Hi @Wallen, Alexander ,

    This is an ongoing issue. As per the latest update, the Azure/functions-action GitHub repository is disabled due to an internal management issue. As this issue is currently under investigation, alternative deployment methods are recommended during this period such as Azure CLI, Azure DevOps Pipelines, VS Code deployment, Zip Deploy, or Azure Pipelines instead of GitHub Actions.

    Update:

    Access has been restored now, please check and confirm.

    Refer fix: pin Azure/functions-action to a verified commit SHA

    Hope this helps!

    The deployment action for Azure Functions remains Azure/functions-action. The official guidance continues to use this action for GitHub Actions–based continuous delivery to an existing function app or deployment slot.

    Key points from the current guidance:

    • Azure/functions-action is the documented action used to publish code from GitHub to Azure Functions.
    • It is used in all the language- and OS-specific workflow templates generated from:
      • Azure portal Deployment Center
      • Azure CLI (az functionapp deployment github-actions)
      • GitHub repository templates
    • The action supports multiple hosting plans (Consumption, Elastic Premium, App Service, Flex Consumption) via parameters such as:
      • app-name (required)
      • package (required; defaults to .)
      • sku and remote-build for Flex Consumption when using a publish profile.

    There is no alternative deployment action documented in the provided material; the recommended approach is still to use Azure/functions-action in the GitHub Actions workflow YAML stored under /.github/workflows/.

    If the repository or action appears disabled in GitHub at a given moment, the supported path in the documentation is still to:

    1. Use the existing Azure/functions-action in the workflow.
    2. (If needed) Regenerate or update the workflow from the Azure portal or Azure CLI so it uses the current templates and parameters.
