Az-204 Lab 02: Implement task processing logic by using Azure Functions

 

Microsoft Azure user interface

Given the dynamic nature of Microsoft cloud tools, you might experience Azure UI changes that occur after the development of this training content. As a result, the lab instructions and lab steps might not align correctly.

Microsoft updates this training course when the community alerts us to needed changes. However, cloud updates occur frequently, so you might encounter UI changes before this training content updates. If this occurs, adapt to the changes, and then work through them in the labs as needed.

         [HttpTrigger("GET")] HttpRequest request,
         string json)
         => null;
    

13. Add the following code to append an attribute to the json parameter of type BlobAttribute that has its blobPath parameter set to a value of content/settings.json:

    C#

     [FunctionName("GetSettingInfo")]
     public static IActionResult Run(
         [HttpTrigger("GET")] HttpRequest request,
         [Blob("content/settings.json")] string json)
         => null;
    

14. Add the following code to update the Run expression-bodied method to return a new instance of the OkObjectResult class passing in the value of the json method parameter as the sole constructor parameter:

    C#

     [FunctionName("GetSettingInfo")]
     public static IActionResult Run(
         [HttpTrigger("GET")] HttpRequest request,
         [Blob("content/settings.json")] string json)
         => new OkObjectResult(json);
    

15. Observe the GetSettingInfo.cs file again, which should now include the following code:

    C#

     using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
     using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
     using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
     public static class GetSettingInfo
     {
         [FunctionName("GetSettingInfo")]
         public static IActionResult Run(
             [HttpTrigger("GET")] HttpRequest request,
             [Blob("content/settings.json")] string json)
             => new OkObjectResult(json);
     }
    

16. Select Save to save your changes to the GetSettingInfo.cs file.

Task 4: Register Azure Storage Blob extensions

1. On the taskbar, select the Windows Terminal icon.

2. Run the following command to change the current directory to the Allfiles (F):\Allfiles\Labs\02\Starter\func directory:

   Code

    cd F:\Allfiles\Labs\02\Starter\func
   

3. From the command prompt, run the following command to register the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage extension:

   Code

    func extensions install --package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage --version 5.0.1
   

4. Run the following command to build the .NET project and to validate the extensions were installed correctly:

   Code

    dotnet build
   

5. Close all currently running instances of the Windows Terminal application.

Task 5: Test the function by using httprepl

1. On the taskbar, select the Windows Terminal icon.

2. Run the following command to change the current directory to the Allfiles (F):\Allfiles\Labs\02\Starter\func directory:

   Code

    cd F:\Allfiles\Labs\02\Starter\func
   

3. From the command prompt, run the following command to run the function app project:

   Code

    func start --build
   

   Note: You can review the documentation to [start the function app project locally][azure-functions-core-tools-start-function] using the Azure Functions Core Tools.

4. On the taskbar, select the Windows Terminal icon again to open a new instance of the Windows Terminal application.

5. From the command prompt, run the following command to start the httprepl tool setting the base Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) to http://localhost:7071:

   Code

    httprepl http://localhost:7071
   

   Note: An error message is displayed by the httprepl tool. This message occurs because the tool is searching for a Swagger definition file to use to traverse the API. Because your function project doesn’t produce a Swagger definition file, you’ll need to traverse the API manually.

6. When you receive the tool prompt, run the following command to browse to the relative api endpoint:

   Code

    cd api
   

7. Run the following command to browse to the relative getsettinginfo endpoint:

   Code

    cd getsettinginfo
   

8. Run the following command to run the get command for the current endpoint:

   Code

    get
   

9. Observe the JSON content of the response from the function app, which should now include:

   Code

    {
        "version": "0.2.4",
        "root": "/usr/libexec/mews_principal/",
        "device": {
            "id": "21e46d2b2b926cba031a23c6919"
        },
        "notifications": {
            "email": "joseph.price@contoso.com",
            "phone": "(425) 555-0162 x4151"
        }
    }
   

10. Run the following command to exit the httprepl application:

    Code

     exit
    

11. Close all currently running instances of the Windows Terminal application.

Review

In this exercise, you created a function that returns the content of a JSON file in Storage.

Exercise 6: Deploy a local function project to an Azure Functions app

Task 1: Deploy using the Azure Functions Core Tools

1. On the taskbar, select the Windows Terminal icon.

2. Run the following command to change the current directory to the Allfiles (F):\Allfiles\Labs\02\Starter\func directory:

   Code

    cd F:\Allfiles\Labs\02\Starter\func
   

3. From command prompt, run the following command to login to the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI):

   Code

    az login
   

4. In the Microsoft Edge browser window, enter the name and password of the Microsoft or Azure Active Directory account you are using in this lab, and then select Sign in.
5. Return to the currently open Windows Terminal window. Wait for the sign-in process to finish.

6. From the command prompt, run the following command to publish the function app project (replace the <function-app-name> placeholder with the name of the function app you created earlier in this lab):

   Code

    func azure functionapp publish <function-app-name>
   

   Note: For example, if your Function App name is funclogicstudent, your command would be func azure functionapp publish funclogicstudent. You can review the documentation to [publish the local function app project][azure-functions-core-tools-publish-azure] using the Azure Functions Core Tools.

7. Wait for the deployment to finalize before you move forward with the lab.
8. Close the currently running Windows Terminal application.

Task 2: Validate deployment

1. On the taskbar, select the Microsoft Edge icon, and select the tab that displays the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com).
2. On the Azure portal’s navigation pane, select the Resource groups link.
3. On the Resource groups blade, select the Serverless resource group that you created previously in this lab.
4. On the Serverless blade, select the funclogic[yourname] function app that you created previously in this lab.
5. On the Function App blade, select the Functions option in the Functions section.
6. On the Functions pane, select the existing GetSettingInfo function.
7. In the Function blade, select the Code + Test option in the Developer section.
8. In the function editor, select Test/Run.
9. In the automatically displayed pane, in the HTTP method drop-down list, select GET.
10. Select Run to test the function.

11. In the HTTP response content, review the results of the test run. The JSON content should now include the following code:

    Code

     {
         "version": "0.2.4",
         "root": "/usr/libexec/mews_principal/",
         "device": {
             "id": "21e46d2b2b926cba031a23c6919"
         },
         "notifications": {
             "email": "joseph.price@contoso.com",
             "phone": "(425) 555-0162 x4151"
         }
     }
    

Review

In this exercise, you deployed a local function project to Azure Functions and validated that the functions work in Azure.

Exercise 7: Clean up your subscription

Task 1: Open Azure Cloud Shell and list resource groups

1. In the Azure portal, select the Cloud Shell icon  to open a new Bash session. If Cloud Shell defaults to a PowerShell session, select PowerShell, and in the drop-down menu, select Bash.

   Note: If this is the first time you’re starting Cloud Shell, when prompted to select either Bash or PowerShell, select PowerShell. When you’re presented with the You have no storage mounted message, select the subscription you’re using in this lab, and then select Create storage.

Task 2: Delete a resource group

1. On the Cloud Shell pane, run the following command to delete the Serverless resource group:

   Code

    az group delete --name Serverless --no-wait --yes
   

   Note: The command executes asynchronously (as determined by the –no-wait parameter), so while you’ll be able to run another Azure CLI command immediately afterwards within the same Bash session, it’ll take a few minutes before the resource groups are removed.

2. Close the Cloud Shell pane in the portal.

Task 3: Close the active application

• Close the currently running Microsoft Edge application.
