In the previous chapter, we learned what Microsoft Azure Functions are. In this chapter, we will learn how to invoke Azure Functions from other Azure services and the different types of triggers that are available to invoke Azure Functions. We will also learn about the differences between Azure Function Triggers and Azure Function Bindings. We will then learn about Azure Blob storage integration with Azure Functions, HTTP, and Webhook Triggers for Azure Functions, and timer-based triggers.
In this chapter, we will cover these topics:
- How do Azure Functions get invoked?
