Deploy Azure Function from a Zip file

Question

I am new to Azure function. I am trying to deploy an Azure Function App with 3 functions to our SIT environment. I don't have access to SIT to publish the functions from Visual Studio. So, I have been researching to see how can I zip the project up and deploy to the SIT Azure portal. I have found Zip deployment method as below.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/deployment-zip-push

I have been testing this method in our Dev environment. It seems like we need to have an existing Azure function app in the environment to deploy in this way. So, I have created a basic Azure Function App (with no functions) in the Azure portal. Then followed the instructions in the above link (Powershell) and deployed the Zip file. I can see the files deployed in the wwwroot through Azure Storage Explorer. But when I look at the functions under the Function App, nothing has been displayed there.

Can someone advise on this please?

Also is there any direct way to deploy a fresh Azure Function App and its functions from Zip?

Answer 1

If you go to Kudu Console for the Function App, do you see your files under d:\home\site\wwwroot?

Also, are you using Functions v1 or v2 (Preview)? If v2, you need to make sure that your app is set up accordingly.
