Question

Trying to deploy the function app example and it stopped working for no reason.

I deployed my first function by following this tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/create-first-function-vs-code-python

It worked fine, but then when I went to update it, I was unable to get new versions deployed. So I deleted everything in VS Code, started a totally new Function App project, and the initial creation works, but any time I try to deploy to the new function that I created, using the boilerplate code from the tutorial, I get an error in VS Code saying "The service in unavailable."

So I don't know why following the tutorial step by step is no longer working, even though it did work an hour ago.

I was also unable to post on these forums at the same time and was getting an error when trying to post this question, but once I was able to post this question the deployment started working again. So I think Azure services in general were having a hiccup, but the Azure health page reported no problems, so I have no idea what the error was.
