About This Site

This is my blog about API Management and Microsoft Azure – Especially Azure API Management, Azure PaaS, Azure Compute, and Azure Migration.

What is API Management?
API Management is the process of creating and publishing web APIs. This API Management process covers: enforcing API usage policies, controlling access, subscriber community features, collecting and analyzing usage statistics, and reporting on performance.

What is Microsoft Azure?
It is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers.
It provides software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and supports many different programming languages, tools, and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 v16.10 includes full support for .Net 5.0 ‘isolated process’ in Azure Functions, as well as early preview support for .Net 6 in Azure Functions.

Here are some important facts about .NET5 and 6 support in Azure Functions:

Visual Studio 2019 v16.10, released in May, includes full support for creating, local debugging, and deploying .NET 5.0 isolated process Azure Functions apps
Local tooling support for creating, running, and deploying .NET 6.0 function apps is currently limited to a preview release of Azure Functions Core Tools V4
Use the latest release of Azure Functions Core Tools V4 preview
While other language workers are included in the current Core Tools V4 preview, they are unsupported at this time
Note that .NET 6.0 on Azure Functions is currently offered as an early preview and there is no official support
NET 5.0 is the first .NET version supported by the isolated model
The Azure Functions team is committed to providing full support for .NET 6.0 as soon as .NET 6.0 is generally available in November 2021.
Azure Functions supports two programming models for .NET—isolated process and in-process.
Early previews of .NET 6.0 include both programming models.
To run .NET 6.0, you need Azure Functions V4.
Local tooling support for creating, running, and deploying .NET 6.0 function apps is currently limited to a preview release of Azure Functions Core Tools V4.
You can only deploy .NET 6.0 function apps to Azure Functions V4 preview on Windows hosting plans.
While other language workers are included in the current Core Tools V4 preview, they are unsupported at this time.
Continue to use Azure Functions V3 and Core Tools V3 for other languages and production workloads.
If you need access to features that are currently missing, such as Durable Functions, use the in-process model.
Microsoft will soon bring .NET 6.0 Azure Functions support to tools like Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code and to all hosting plans in Azure.
Expect a public preview of Azure Functions V4 in the third quarter of this year and general availability in November.
