AF on Azure Container Apps (Private Preview) vs build image from function app #25

Closed stuarthallows closed 1 year ago

stuarthallows commented 1 year ago

I've recently been investigating whether we could run Azure Functions as Container Apps, and created a proof of concept where I built a docker image from an app and deployed it to a Container App environment. All worked well. Could you please clarify what the Azure Functions on Azure Container Apps (Private Preview) adds over and above building a container from a function app and deploying to a container app, which was already possible. I'm not clear on that having looked over the readme.

You may choose functions on ACA if there are requirements to run event driven apps like functions along with other microservices, APIs or container hosted programs. This is the only hosting platform which offers customers with managed functions, KEDA and DAPR. You get seamless integration between KEDA and Function triggers where you dont need to configure scaled objects , functions takes care of this. For container apps ecosystem this is a huge benefit for customers to leverage functions programming model for event driven requirements. We are trying to optimize on lot of DIY and management overhead that users otherwise had to go through with just ACA.
