Microsoft Azure provides several different ways to host and execute code or workflows without using Virtual Machines (VMs) including Azure Functions, Microsoft Power Automate, Azure Logic Apps, and Azure WebJobs. In this module, you will learn about these technologies and how to choose the right one for a given scenario. You will also see how Azure Functions allow developers to host business logic that can be executed without managing or provisioning infrastructure.

A trigger is responsible for executing an Azure function and there are dozens of triggers to choose from. This module will show you some of the most common types of triggers and how to configure them to execute your logic.

Azure Functions makes it easy for your function code to integrate with data and services. In this module, you will learn to use bindings to declare the data sources to read and write, and let Azure Functions take care of the rest.

In this module, you will learn how to orchestrate a long-running workflow as a set of activities using Durable Functions. You will use the Azure Functions Core Tools to create and run functions on a development computer and publish them to Azure. You will learn how to create, test, and deploy Azure Functions using Visual studio and how to manage Azure Function code.
