Function App Cannot Create within Azure Portal

Question

Seems there have been two changes that are getting in the way of creating functions after having created a function ressource.

1. There is no longer the "Function f(x)" under the left menu called Functions, and seems we can only access it now from the Overview section. Why not.
2. When accessing that from the Overview section, there isn't a possibility for me to create a serverless function directly in Azure Portal.

My question is therefore, how can I create a function direclty in Azure Portal, given these changes in UI?

Answer 1

@NT Thanks for reaching out. It is true that the Azure Portal UI has changed recently, and the "Function f(x)" option is no longer available in the left-hand menu. Instead, you can access the Functions from the "Overview" section of the Azure Portal.

Portal only supports creating functions using scripting languages such as JavaScript, Python, and PowerShell. If you want to create a compiled function, you will need to use a development environment such as Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code to create and deploy your function.

do let me know incase of further queries, I would be happy to assist you.

If you had selected .NET as the Stack then you will need to change a setting value in the Environment Variables section of your Function app -> App Settings -> "FUNCTION_WORKER_RUNTIME" from "dotnet-isolated" to "dotnet", and then save this change. When you go back to Overview, you can find the "Create in Azure Portal" option will appear.

If you selected any other stack, this option should be visible by default.
