Local Storage for Azure Functions #1212

Open sushivap opened 5 years ago

sushivap commented 5 years ago

How much and what kind of local storage do Azure functions have? Currently, my application uses a locally stored "exe" to download and edit some videos, all of which happens on local storage ("c:/../.../ on my machine"). When I try to use this logic with an azure function is continuously restarts as it believes the files have changed. Is there a way to store files locally temporarily? Once the function has finished executing I don't need these files anymore.

Hi @sushivap: Whenever files are changed (added/deleted/modified) under the function app root, this will cause the function app to restart.

Here is a link that explains the folder structure for the function app: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/master/includes/functions-folder-structure.md

Have you tried downloading the files to a location outside the function app root, e.g., c:\MyVideos and reference this location in your code?
