Foundations & App Service ✓Containers & AKS ✓DevOps & SecurityProjects

DevOps & Security · 3 — Operate · ~10 min · Serverless & Messaging

What is this?

Azure Functions Basics covers serverless and messaging patterns on Azure.

Why should you care?

Async work and integrations should not block your API thread.

See it live — copy this example

Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.

# Azure Functions Basics
# Functions / Service Bus / Event Grid — sketch the trigger and the handler

What happened?

  • Name the trigger, the message contract, and the failure/retry behavior.
  • Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

  1. Run the CLI/portal steps in a lab subscription.
  2. Write the resource names you used.
  3. Note estimated monthly cost for the SKU.
  4. Repeat in a second region (conceptually).
  5. Add the resource to a simple architecture diagram.

Remember

You can explain Azure Functions Basics simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.

What are pipeline templates and how are they used? Answer: Templates let you reuse pipeline steps across projects — great for standardization. Example: You can create a reusable file: 📄 .azure-pipelines/build-template.yml steps: - script: dotnet restore - script: dotnet build Then in your main pipeline: extends: template: .azure-pipelines/build-template.yml This keeps your YAML DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) and consistent.
