To further our commitment of providing the latest in cloud innovation for each and every one of our customers, we're excited to announce the availability of Azure Functions in three separatenational clouds- China, Germany and United States Government.National or sovereign clouds are physically and logically network-isolated instances of Microsoft's cloud service, which are confined within the geographic boundaries of specific countries and operated by local personnel. These clouds offer a unique model for local regulations on service delivery, data residency, access and control.Functions in the national clouds provides the same functionality and features as globalAzure. The rich portal experience allows youto create, manage and monitoryour functions. You can develop using C#, F#orJavaScript and integrate with a wide variety of servicesusingtriggers and bindings.As always, you can pick from a range of tools such as the cross platform CLI, Visual Studio IDEand VS Code to develop, debugand test locally, before deploying your apps to Azure.Known Limitations
Currently, Functions in the national cloudscan only be hosted in an App Service Plan. Each plan requires you to defineaspecific region, number of VM instances in that region and size of the VMs that must be dedicated to your apps. If your scenario requires the consumption plan, please let us know by submitting a feature request onUserVoice.
Basic monitoring is available through the functions logs and the monitoring tab in the portal. A richer experience with more analytics options will be available once Azure Application Insights is available in the national cloud regions.
Next StepsHere are some resources to help you get up and running with Functions:
