Hello @Shaikh, Usman - The Apple M1 chip uses ARM architecture and there's an open issue filed with the Functions team for supporting it: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-host/issues/8666

I'm sorry for the bad news but looking at the full tag list for the Docker container for Functions runtime, there still doesn't seem to be an image for ARM64 architecture: https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/azure-functions/base/tags/list

I'll report this to the Functions team & help raise its priority internally but please consider upvoting, commenting on the existing request at the following link as well: https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/idea/f1df9ac1-ebd6-ec11-a81b-0022484ee92d
