I'm trying to educate you on the topic, but you seem to offer resistance.

I mean, I haven't even mentioned the fact that in order to be able to provision an azure function you are also forced to provision a storage account. As if the absurdity of the whole plan concept wasn't enough.

> All of this can easily be automated/cloned if it is something you do often.

Irrelevant. It's completely besides the point how you can automate deploying all those resources.

The whole point is that Azure follows an absurdly convoluted model that leaks forces users to manage many layers of low-level infrastructure details even when using services that supposedly follow serverless computing models. I mean, why on earth would anyone have to provision a storage account to be able to deploy an Azure Function? Absurd.

I've provisioned many Azure Functions apps; there's nothing you can educate me on, here.

Why do you care about a storage account so much?

Since you didn't know about the [Flex] Consumption plan, there's your education.

And as to why they require a storage account:

Wallah, education!
