Does it support Azure function apps at all?

[findajay]

Is it possible to containerize azure function apps using this sdk ?

[baronfel]

Hi @findajay - do you have a sample application we could try? I looked at some existing Azure Functions documentation here which suggests that isolated Azure Functions have to use a specific base image. If that's all that is required you could try pointing to that specific base image by using the ContainerBaseImage MSBuild property. In the meantime we can reach out to our partner teams about a more deep integration.

@baronfel Thanks for your response. I have tried using mcr.microsoft.com/azure-functions/dotnet-isolated:4-dotnet-isolated6.0 this base image for .net6 isolated function app and it does not work for me. I will upload the code to my GitHub and share the link but I am not doing anything special, just created a new .net6 isolated function app using visual studio and tried building container image using sdk-container.

@baronfel Here is the sample app https://github.com/findajay/functionwithdocker/tree/master/functionwithdocker. In this app I am able to generate container image using dockerfile but not by using skd container dotnet publish.
Note : It does also work for web application in same repository https://github.com/findajay/functionwithdocker/tree/master/WebApplication1

@baronfel Can you prioritize this issue in June 30 milestone. We have been waiting a long for this? Thanks

[baronfel]

I did a sample of what integration with AzureFunctions might look like in this gist - this is something the Azure Functions team would be involved in maintaining, though.

[findajay]

@baronfel Thanks for taking time and focus on this. I hope azure functions team will take it up.

[baronfel]

I need to reach out to them to make their getting-started templates compatible with our tech anyway, so I expect this will come up :)

How can I track the progress on this? Is it going to be part of this issue or in another one on the functions team side? Thanks!

[findajay]

I think changes has been done as part of this ticket https://github.com/dotnet/sdk-container-builds/issues/402. Not sure if they reached destination repository or not. @baronfel Could you please confirm this if possible ?

[baronfel]

No, #402 is about publish profile support for console applications, not Azure Functions support for this tech.

[baronfel]

If this would be useful for you, please check out the issue I created on the azure-functions-core-tools repo: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/issues/3355

[baronfel]

Closing as the Functions team has implemented support and will be releasing it soon.

[ggirard07]

Is there any reference/version number we could track to determine when this is going to be publicly available?

[baronfel]

https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-dotnet-worker/pull/2671 Here's the PR on their side that implemented the support. It looks like this is in preview 2 of the 2.0 version of the functions SDK, which is already released: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Sdk/2.0.0-preview2

Thanks for implementing this interesting feature.
