Connecting to the Azure Storage from Visual Studio

In both of the previous recipes, you learned how to create and execute Azure Functions in a local environment. You triggered the functions from a local browser. However, in this recipe, you'll learn how to trigger an Azure function in your local environment when an event occurs in Azure. For example, when a new blob is created in an Azure storage account, we can have our function triggered on our local machine. This helps developers to test their applications upfront, before deploying them to the production environment.

Getting ready

Perform the following steps:

Create a storage account, and then a blob container named cookbookfiles, in Azure.
Install Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer from http://storageexplorer.com/.
