Example: Azure Functions 🌩️

[josephaw1022]

I'd like to propose the inclusion of Azure Functions projects as examples within the Aspire framework. This addition would be particularly beneficial for developers and aligns well with the cloud-native direction of Aspire.

Given that both the SDK and runtime for Azure Functions are open-source, integrating them as first-class citizens in the Aspire ecosystem seems a natural fit. Such integration would not only enhance the current offerings of Aspire but also provide practical, cloud-native examples that developers can leverage in their projects.

I tried to launch azure functions with the latest preview4 and I noticed that the current behavior seems different from what I read here.

• Function projects will be lauched as separated terminals:

• logs cannot be read within Aspire dashboard,

• VS hangs waiting the end of "Launching local Function process"

• All function process attempt to bind port 7070 and only the first one run correctly

I know that Azure functions are currently not supported, but I think that this example could confusing
