Deploying Azure functions using the Run From Package feature
We have been learning about different techniques for developing Azure functions and deploying them to the cloud.
As you may already know, each function app can have multiple functions hosted within it. All the code related to these functions is located in the D:\home\site\wwwroot folder. We'll use the Kudu app to view the binaries.
Kudu is an open-source application that lets us deploy binaries to an App Service, view the environment variables, and view processes running on the App Service's hosts. Navigate to Kudu with the URL https://<<yourfunctionappname>>.scm.azurewebsites.net.
In Figure 11.1, you can see all the binaries of the Kudu web app:

D:\home\site\wwwroot is the location where the runtime would look for the binaries and all the configuration files that are required to execute the application.
