Create your function app resources using Azure Resource Manager templates | Create and deploy to Azure a simple HTTP triggered serverless function by using an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template). | 03/17/2025 | quickstart | azure-functions | programming-languages-set-functions | subject-armqs, mode-arm, devx-track-arm-template |
In this article, you use an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) to create a function app in a Flex Consumption plan in Azure, along with its required Azure resources. The function app provides a serverless execution context for your function code executions. The app uses Microsoft Entra ID with managed identities to connect to other Azure resources.
Completing this quickstart incurs a small cost of a few USD cents or less in your Azure account.
[!INCLUDE About Azure Resource Manager]
If your environment meets the prerequisites and you're familiar with using ARM templates, select the Deploy to Azure button. The template opens in the Azure portal.

After you create the function app, you can deploy your Azure Functions project code to that app. A final code deployment step is outside the scope of this quickstart article.
Before you begin, you must have an Azure account with an active subscription. Create an account for free.
The template used in this quickstart is from Azure Quickstart Templates.
:::code language="json" source="~/quickstart-templates/quickstarts/microsoft.web/function-app-flex-managed-identities/azuredeploy.json":::
This template creates these Azure resources needed by a function app that securely connects to Azure services:

These scripts are designed for and tested in Azure Cloud Shell. Choose Try It to open a Cloud Shell instance right in your browser. When prompted, enter the name of a region that supports the Flex Consumption plan, such as eastus or northeurope.
