Is there any way, I can deploy to azure functions using powershell scripts? CI will not work for us because we use octopus deploy to deploy to all of our production services. So it would be beneficial if there is a way to deploy using powershell scripts.
Thanks!
You can deploy functions to Azure using the Kudu REST API. You can also see some code/samples of doing this in our templates repository. In this code sample, you can see how our test script calls out to the Kudu Rest apis to deploy a zip to the Function App.
The folder structure for functions is a function per folder. You need to deploy your Function folders to ./site/wwwroot
on the Function App. You also need to add any app settings which might contain your secrets if you add any new bindings between updates.
The PowerShell code would look something along the lines of:
$apiUrl = $config.scmEndpoint + "/api/zip/"
if ($destinationPath)
{
$apiUrl = $apiUrl + $destinationPath
}
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiUrl -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $config.authInfo)} -Method PUT -InFile $zipFilePath -ContentType "multipart/form-data"
Just in case there are people like me who need step by step solutions. Here is the procedure to deploy azure functions using powershell (non ARM way)
Create an azure function with the following structure
myFunctionName(Folder)
|
|_ function.json (contains info on input, output, trigger)
|_ run.csx (contains code)
|_ [OPTIONAL] project.json (for nuget packages)
|_ [OPTIONAL] bin(Folder)
|_ all custom DLLs go in this folder
Create a zip of the myFunctionName
folder - let's name it my.zip
. Make sure that after zipping my.zip
contains the myFunctionName
folder and all its contents
Find your publish profile username and password as described here, namely
$creds = Invoke-AzureRmResourceAction -ResourceGroupName YourResourceGroup -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName YourWebApp/publishingcredentials -Action list -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -Force
$username = $creds.Properties.PublishingUserName
$password = $creds.Properties.PublishingPassword
and then invoke the Kudu REST API using powershell as follows
$username = '<publish username>' #IMPORTANT: use single quotes as username may contain $
$password = "<publish password>"
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username,$password)))
$apiUrl = "https://<yourFunctionApp>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/zip/site/wwwroot"
$filePath = "<yourFunctionName>.zip"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiUrl -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Method PUT -InFile $filePath -ContentType "multipart/form-data"
- Go to
<yourFunctionApp>.scm.azurewebsites.net -> Debug menu at the top -> CMD
. In the page that appears, navigate to site -> wwwroot
. You should see the contents of your zip file extracted there and you can also verify that your azure function is available in the azure portal.

In addition to what Chris describes, there is a first class ARM API you can use to deploy functions. Here is what it looks like in PowerShell:
Function DeployHttpTriggerFunction($ResourceGroupName, $SiteName, $FunctionName, $CodeFile, $TestData)
{
$FileContent = "$(Get-Content -Path $CodeFile -Raw)"
$props = @{
config = @{
bindings = @(
@{
type = "httpTrigger"
direction = "in"
webHookType = ""
name = "req"
}
@{
type = "http"
direction = "out"
name = "res"
}
)
}
files = @{
"index.js" = $FileContent
}
test_data = $TestData
}
New-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/functions -ResourceName $SiteName/$FunctionName -PropertyObject $props -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -Force
}
See https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Functions-API for information about the underlying API.
You can also use Azure CLI 2.0 + Azure Function CLI to deploy Azure functions form commandline/powershell
Azure CLI API can be used to provision a function app, using command
az functionapp create --name $functionappName --resource-group $resourceGroup --storage-account $storageAccountName --consumption-plan-location $consumptionPlanLocation
And apply application setting
az functionapp config appsettings set --name $functionappName --resource-group $resourceGroup --settings "test=value"
And Azure Function CLI api can be used to deploy the functions you have
func azure functionapp publish <azurefunctionapp>
Handy tools!
