Consumption Plan

3 minutes to complete

There are several options to deploy Azure Functions. The serverless pay-per-execution hosting plan is called Consumption Plan.

There’s no resource named Consumption Plan, however. The resource name is inherited from Azure App Service: Consumption is one kind of an App Service Plan. It’s the SKU property of the resource that defines the type of hosting plan.

Copy the following block to your index.ts file:

const plan = new azure.appservice.Plan("asp", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    kind: "FunctionApp",
    sku: {
        tier: "Dynamic",
        size: "Y1",
    },
});

Note the specific way that the properties sku and kind are configured. If you ever want to deploy to another type of service plan, you would need to change these values accordingly.

Run another up and make sure it succeeds.

Checkpoint

Re-run the command to list all resources in the Resource Group:

$ az resource list -g pulumi-workshop -o table

Name             ResourceGroup    Location    Type
---------------  ---------------  ----------  ---------------------------------
storage92e87b37  pulumi-workshop  westus      Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts
aspcc384450      pulumi-workshop  westus      Microsoft.Web/serverFarms

You should see both the Storage Account and the Consumption Plan (its type is known as Microsoft.Web/serverFarms in Azure Resource Manager).

If you have any difficulties, compare your code with this sample.
