In this section, you create a function app and related resources in your Azure subscription. Many of the resource creation decisions are made for you based on default behaviors.

1. In Visual Studio Code, select F1 to open the command palette. At the prompt (>), enter and then select Azure Functions: Create Function App in Azure.

2. At the prompts, provide the following information:

   Prompt	Action
   Select subscription	Select the Azure subscription to use. The prompt doesn't appear when you have only one subscription visible under Resources.
   Enter a globally unique name for the function app	Enter a name that is valid in a URL path. The name you enter is validated to make sure that it's unique in Azure Functions.
   Select a runtime stack	Select the language version you currently run locally.
   Select a location for new resources	Select an Azure region. For better performance, select a region near you.

   In the Azure: Activity Log panel, the Azure extension shows the status of individual resources as they're created in Azure.

   

3. When the function app is created, the following related resources are created in your Azure subscription. The resources are named based on the name you entered for your function app.

   A notification is displayed after your function app is created and the deployment package is applied.
