-These end-to-end Azure CLI scripts are provided to help you learn how to provision and managing the Azure resources required by Azure Functions. You must use the [Azure Functions Core Tools](functions-run-local.md) to create actual Azure Functions code projects from the command line on your local computer and deploy code to these Azure resources. For a complete end-to-end example of developing and deploying from the command line using both Core Tools and the Azure CLI, see one of these language-specific command line quickstarts:
