@tschumpr Thanks for your feedback! We will investigate and update as appropriate.
@tschumpr Thanks for reaching out. You can test locally Azure function with python on Windows but Azure function with python is only supported in Linux based hosting plan as documented here.
Although you can develop your Python-based Azure functions locally on Windows, Python is supported only on a Linux-based hosting plan when it's running in Azure. For more information, see the list of supported operating system/runtime combinations.
I reviewed the video and I don't see where it specifically call out that you can deploy on windows operating system in azure or did I missed anything.
@MayankBargali-MSFT Sorry about that, you're absolutely right, it doesn't say anything about windows operating system in azure. When I wrote this feedback I was confused because after reading this I expected to not be able to develop the azure function locally on my windows machine. I was already setting up WSL when I watched the video and realized that I could do the development on windows. Might just be me to get confused by this, I'm still new to this field. Thanks anyway for looking into it.
@tschumpr You are welcome. We will now proceed to close this thread. If there are further questions regarding this matter, please reopen it and we will gladly continue the discussion.
