Funky Azure Functions with .NET 5 and 6

This is a talk David Gardiner gave for the Melb.Net Meetup Group on 3 August, 2021.

In this talk, David shows us the new features of Azure Functions - the serverless compute offering for Azure. He starts with a quick recap of what Azure Functions are and what problems they can solve, and he leads us though these practical questions:

• What works better?
• What works differently (aka breaking changes)?
• Can Azure Functions run with .Net 5 and 6?
• Why might you choose to stick with .NET Core 3.1?
• What can you do in Visual Studio versus the CLI?
• How can you add OpenAPI/Swagger support?
• How would you automate the deployment with GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines?
