Deploying your artifact to Azure

Now that your artifact is built and zipped, we’ll deploy it to Azure:

1. Click on the Releases subsection under Pipelines on the left. Click on New Release Pipeline. Once again, a familiar Select a Template screen should be shown.
2. You can scroll down or search for Functions in the list, select the one that says Deploy a Function App to Azure Functions, and click Apply.

   You should now see a stage pop out named Stage one. This entire section can be customized with different business workflows according to your needs. For this exercise, we will have a single environment.

3. Change the stage name to Production. Click on Add an Artifact. Select the source of the artifact, which in our case is a build artifact – which may already be selected.
4. Select your project and then your source build pipeline. Leave the latest as the default version and your source alias should already be pre-populated. Click Add.
