Globally unique Name that identifies your new function app. Valid name characters are 2-2 (case insensitive), 9-9, and - Code Option to publish code files or a Docker container. Preferred Choose a runtime that supports your favorite function language programming language. In-portal editing is only available for JavaScript, PowerShell, Python, TypeScript, and C# script. CH class library and Java functions must be developed locally Version number Choose the version of your installed runtime. Preferred region Select a region that's near you or near other services that your functions can access.

Container publishing is only supported on Linux. Consumption Hosting plan that defines how resources are allocated (erverless) to your function app. In the default Consumption plan, resources are added dynamically as required by your functions. In this serverless hosting, you pay only for the time your functions run. Premium plan also offers dynamic scaling. When you run in an App Service plan, you must manage the scaling of your function app. 4, Accept the default options of creating a new storage account on the Storage tab and a new Application Insight instance on the Monitoring tab. You can also choose to use an existing storage account or Application Insights instance. nitps:/leam microsot.comlon-us/azurefazurefunctons/tuncions-create-scheduleé-unction 28sites, 8320 Croatoa functionn Azure that uns ona schedule | Mcrosot Lean 5.

Clean up resources Other quickstarts in this collection build upon this quickstart. If you plan to work with subsequent quickstarts, tutorials, or with any of the services you've created in this quickstart, don't clean up the resources. Resources in Azure refer to function apps, functions, storage accounts, and so forth. They're grouped into resource groups, and you can delete everything in a group by deleting the group. You've created resources to complete these quickstarts. You might be billed for these resources, depending on your account status and service pricing. If you don't need the resources anymore, here's how to delete them: 1. In the Azure portal, go to the Resource group page To get to that page from the function app page, select the Overview tab, and then select the link under Resource group. nitps:/leam microsot.comlon-us/azurefazurefunctons/tuncions-create-scheduleé-unction 78sii24, 9:92 AM p> myfunctionapp Create a function in Azure that runs on a schedule | Microsoft Learn eC faren Clap © tent 2 ie verals i To get to that page from the dashboard, select Resource groups, and then select the resource group that you used for this article.

Deletion might take a couple of minutes. When it's done, a notification appears for a few seconds. You can also select the bell icon at the top of the page to view the notification. Next steps You've created a function that runs based on a schedule. For more information about timer triggers, see Schedule code execution with Azure Functions. Now that you've created your first function, let's add an output binding to the function that writes a message to a Storage queue.
