Microsoft's Run your functions from a package file in Azure recommends running functions with WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE = 1. In 'Using WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE = 1' section one can read:

  • Zip deployment is the recommended way to upload a deployment package to your site.

In Continuous delivery with Azure Pipelines we can read in 'Deploy your app' section for Classic deployments (as opposed to YAML deployments) that:

You'll need to create a separate release pipeline to deploy to Azure Functions. When you create a new release pipeline, search for the Azure Functions release template.

In the Azure Functions task one must choose the Deployment method and the options are:

  • Auto-detect
  • Zip Deploy
  • Run From Package

enter image description here

I am confused by

  • an option called Run From Package next to Zip Deploy option and
  • the documentation saying

    Zip deployment is the recommended way to upload a deployment package to your site

How to correctly deploy a function using Pipelines' Azure Functions task?

  • @RithwikBojja-MT Interestingly for me Pipelines do not add WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE = 1 (but when deploying locally with VS Code + A Functions extension the setting is added). I was considering adding a paragraph about this but I didn't want to have multiple issues in one question. Commented Feb 28, 2022 at 6:56
  • @RithwikBojja-MT Your "Reference about the WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE" is the first like I have in the post :/ Commented Feb 28, 2022 at 7:07
