Task 6You have an Azure function hosted in an App Service plan named az400-38443478-functYou need...

To configure your Azure Functionaz400-38443478-functto automatically update whenever new code is committed to the main branch of the specified GitHub repository, you can use GitHub Actions for continuous deployment. Here’s how to set it up:

Create a GitHub Actions Workflow:

In your GitHub repository, navigate to the.github/workflows/directory.

Create a new file for your workflow (e.g.,azure-function-cd.yml).

Define the Workflow:

In the workflow file, define the steps for the build and deployment process.

Use theAzure/functions-actionto deploy to your Azure Function App.

Set up triggers for themainbranch to initiate the workflow on every commit.

Generate Deployment Credentials:

In the Azure Portal, navigate to your Function Appaz400-38443478-funct.

Download the publish profile from theOverviewsection by clicking onGet publish profile.

Store the Publish Profile as a GitHub Secret:

In your GitHub repository, go toSettings>Secrets and variables>Actions.

Create a new secret (e.g.,AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE) and paste the content of the publish profile.

Configure the Workflow to Use the Secret:

In the workflow file, reference the secret to authenticate the deployment to Azure.

Here’s a sample GitHub Actions workflow snippet:

name: Deploy Azure Function

on:

push:

branches:

- main

jobs:

build-and-deploy:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- uses: actions/checkout@v2

- name: Set up Python version

uses: actions/setup-python@v2

with:

python-version: '3.x'

- name: Install dependencies

run: |

pip install -r requirements.txt

- name: Deploy to Azure Functions

uses: Azure/functions-action@v1

with:

app-name: az400-38443478-funct

publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE }}

package: .

Replace theapp-namewith the name of your Azure Function App and ensure the Python version and dependencies match your application’s requirements.

By following these steps, yourAzure Function will automatically update whenever new code is pushed to the main branch of the GitHub repository. This setup minimizes manual effort and ensures that your function app is always running the latest code.
