The Flex Consumption plan for Azure Functions is a new hosting option that provides more flexibility and cost efficiency for running serverless applications. Unlike the traditional Consumption plan, which charges based on the number of executions and execution time, the Flex Consumption plan allows you to specify the maximum number of instances and memory allocation for your function app. This plan is ideal for scenarios where you need predictable performance and cost, as it enables you to control the scaling behavior of your functions more precisely.
Back in 2017 I wrote a post about how to run a precompiled .NET Core Azure Function in a container. Fast forward to 2023 and, as some of you know, I’ve been playing with Golang for a while now so I thought it was about time to translate the .NET code and make it work with Golang.
The intent of this post is to help you understand how to connect an Azure Function to a Storage Account privately so all traffic flows through a VNet therefore enhancing the security of your solutions and blobs.
The Case: # Supose you have the following Azure Function written in C# which only copies a blob from one conatiner to another:
Greetings readers! Hope you all a Happy New Year!
Last post I was about running a Precompiled .NET Core Azure Function in a Container. This time let’s go one step further and Run a Durable Azure Function in a Container
Prerequisites:
Docker installed and basic knowledge. .NET Core Azure Storage Account Azure Durable Functions Knowledge Create a .NET Core lib project # Create a .NET Core lib project.
So this morning I found my self browsing through the images Microsoft has published in the Docker Hub and then I saw this one: microsoft/azure-functions-runtime and decided to Run a Precompiled .NET Core Azure Function in a Container.
Prerequisites:
Docker installed and basic knowledge. .NET Core Create a .NET Core lib project # Create a .NET Core lib project.
Today I’ll show you how to develop a Web API to Create vCard QR Codes using Azure Functions.
But wait what are Azure Functions?
As defined by Microsoft:
Azure Functions is a serverless event driven experience that extends the existing Azure App Service platform. These nano-services can scale based on demand and you pay only for the resources you consume.
