Deploy Specific Functions from Artifacts Using AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4 Task in Azure Release Pipeline

Question

Is it possible to edit the AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4 task in a release pipeline to deploy only specific functions from the artifacts? I am currently using this task to deploy an artifact, but I want to selectively deploy certain functions rather than the entire set of functions in the artifact. Is there a way to achieve this with the current task or any workaround? Also, is it a good practice to selectively deploy functions from the artifact. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @Komal Dewnani ,

As highlighted in the thread below, the Function App is treated as the unit of deployment, not individual Functions within it: Deploying Functions from the Same Project to Multiple Apps

Currently, it is not possible to deploy specific functions selectively from an artifact using the AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4 task or other available options. Instead, the entire set of functions within the Function App is deployed.

We appreciate your understanding on this matter. Should any workarounds or updates to support this scenario become available in the future, we will promptly notify you.
