Start/stop azure functions through PowerShell and Azure CLI

Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables you to run code on-demand without the need to manage infrastructure. In this blog, we'll discuss how to start and stop Azure Functions using PowerShell and Azure CLI. 

Start/Stop Azure Functions using PowerShell

To start or stop Azure Functions using PowerShell, you can use the Start-AzFunctionApp and Stop-AzFunctionApp cmdlets, respectively. Here's how you can use them: 

To start an Azure Function App, run the following command in PowerShell: 

Start-AzFunctionApp -Name <function-app-name> -ResourceGroupName <resource-group-name>

Replace <function-app-name> and <resource-group-name> with the actual names of your function app and resource group, respectively.

 

To stop an Azure Function App, run the following command in PowerShell: 

Stop-AzFunctionApp -Name <function-app-name> -ResourceGroupName <resource-group-name>

Replace <function-app-name> and <resource-group-name> with the actual names of your function app and resource group, respectively. 

Start/Stop Azure Functions using Azure CLI

To start or stop Azure Functions using Azure CLI, you can use the az functionapp start and az functionapp stop commands, respectively. Here's how you can use them: 

To start an Azure Function App, run the following command in Azure CLI: 

az functionapp start --name <function-app-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name>

Replace <function-app-name> and <resource-group-name> with the actual names of your function app and resource group, respectively. 

To stop an Azure Function App, run the following command in Azure CLI: 

az functionapp stop --name <function-app-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name>

Replace <function-app-name> and <resource-group-name> with the actual names of your function app and resource group, respectively. 

Conclusion

In conclusion, starting and stopping Azure Functions can be done easily using either PowerShell or Azure CLI. By understanding the commands and parameters required to start and stop a function app, you can manage your serverless compute resources with ease and efficiency.
