In this section, you create a function app in the Flex Consumption plan along with related resources in your Azure subscription. Many of the resource creation decisions are made for you based on default behaviors. For more control over the created resources, you must instead create your function app with advanced options.
-
In Visual Studio Code, select F1 to open the command palette. At the prompt (
>), enter and then select Azure Functions: Create Function App in Azure. -
At the prompts, provide the following information:
Prompt Action Select subscription Select the Azure subscription to use. The prompt doesn't appear when you have only one subscription visible under Resources. Enter a new function app name Enter a globally unique name that's valid in a URL path. The name you enter is validated to make sure that it's unique in Azure Functions. Select a location for new resources Select an Azure region. For better performance, select a region near you. Only regions supported by Flex Consumption plans are displayed. Select a runtime stack Select the language version you currently run locally. Select resource authentication type Select Managed identity, which is the most secure option for connecting to the default host storage account. In the Azure: Activity Log panel, the Azure extension shows the status of individual resources as they're created in Azure.

When the function app is created, the following related resources are created in your Azure subscription. The resources are named based on the name you entered for your function app.
