Pulumi Community

I am new to Pulumi. Can we create a azure function using pulumi_azure_native(python package)?

so you can definitely use azure functions in Pulumi

here is the API reference - <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-native/web/>

here is an example in typescript. we unfortunately don't have an example in python yet. <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/azure-ts-functions-many/index.ts>

Thanks <@U01K2286683>
I saw the ts reference already.... but that doesn't directly create a function. Should we always use a WebAppFunction to create a function?

from pulumi_azure_native.streamanalytics.function import *Function*
from pulumi_azure_native.web.web_app_function import *WebAppFunction*

*What is the difference between these two?* 
*Apologies if my question sounds naive*

Just identified the first one is a ML function. Why is there no equivalents for a standard function :thinking_face:

The streamanalytics function is actually a feature in Azure Stream Analytics where you can execute javascript functions

You can use this as a <https://github.com/mikhailshilkov/azure-serverless-workshop/blob/master/02-serverless/README.md|template>.
Create a <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-native/resources/resourcegroup/#create-or-update-a-resource-group|resource group> in py
Create a <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-native/storage/storageaccount/|storage account> in py
Same for <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-native/storage/blobcontainer/|blob container> and all the other resources.  If you click on the resource you need <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-native/|here>, you can change the language to python and build it.

A function is just a special "kind" of appservice in the Azure world.  The APIs that you see in Pulumi correlate directly to the ARM equivalents under the hood.

For a function, you need an appservice (of kind function) connected to an appservice plan (normally of sku dynamic Y1) and storage account connected to that appservice by an appsetting.

There isn't (in the new azure native provider which the examples are based off) a "convenience" function that will create all the services for you, you have to do that manually.

The example in Tusher's post will get you started with the above though.
