Microsoft Azure Cloud Functions

Microsoft's cloud offering, Azure, has its own FaaS offering, called Azure Cloud Functions.

There are two versions of its runtime, as follows:

• Version 1.x is the only one approved for production use, and is general availability (GA)
• Version 2.x is experimental, and in preview

Overall, it offers the following runtime: C#, JavaScript, F#, Java, Python, PHP, TypeScript, batch executables, bash executables, and PowerShell executables.

As of the time of writing this book, most of them are in experimental and preview states. The versions 1.x for Javascript, C#, and F#, are GA, and approved for production use. Microsoft has big plans for Azure Cloud Functions. Check the roadmap for the current status of the Azure Cloud Functions.
