For the PowerShell Az issue as well - it would be good to know what command you were using/what you were trying to do. We dont support deployment of code using the Functions PowerShell Module (https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az.Functions/4.0....). Did you deploy using AZ CLI and then using the PowerShell Module ?
You can either share your Function App info here by using this method: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-host/wiki/Sharing-Y...
or just email me at anirudhg at microsoft.com and I will look into this.
Thanks again for using Functions.
The difference between it and other serverless offerings like Lambda and Functions is that you can run your jobs for upto 3 hours (after which we will restart it, not kill it, so if it is idempotent it will work ). It supports PowerShell/Python right now. Another core feature is being able to run scripts on your own VM from the Cloud called the Hybrid Worker. This has support both for Windows/Linux machines. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation... (Disclosure: I am a member of the Azure Automation team)
There are several others which are not entirely correct, look at the comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13445324 below.
