What should I select when creating an Azure Function Application?

Question

I have a question for tomorrow's live Q&A.  I am not sure how the UI/UX of the meeting goes but I will try to log in early and post it in the meeting.  Otherwise, is it permitted that I email my question here?

Here is the topic of my question:

Azure Functions seems to be a good topic to fully understand and practice if one wants to be a certified Azure developer.  Azure Functions is the first topic on a training video I saw which was created to help developers prepare for an Azure Certification exam.

So I spent time looking for information and instructions regarding Azure Functions.  

Most YouTube videos were about theories and did not demonstrate practical and tangible use.  Then I found a video about Azure Functions by Tim Corey.  This video immediately went into a Visual Studio example where we can create an Azure Functions Application provided we have downloaded the proper options.  The video showed this:

I was able to follow along on my local machine by also selecting to create an Azure Functions App

but things were different in the next window for clarifying what sort of Azure Function App to pick.  The youtube video looked like this by offering these drop down list items:

but my local machine was this:

Please tell me why this has happened, what should I do, and if this should be of concern. Why do I see a completely different set of options for creating an Azure Functions application?

Thanks,

William Thompson

@Wanna Learn Quickly Thanks for reaching out. The version of Visual Studio you’re using might be different from the one used in the video. Different versions of Visual Studio might have different templates for Azure Functions.
