The quoteimages is the name of the container where the function will bind itself and whenever a new image or item is added to the storage it will get triggered. I have also changed the Path parameter of Azure Blob Storage trigger to have quoteimages. I have also change the name of the function to QuoteExtractor. To filter down the list of templates, select C# as the Language and then select BlobTrigger - C# from the template list. The idea is to trigger the function whenever a new image is added/uploaded to the blob storage. Click on the Functions on the left hand side and then click New Function on the right side window to create a new function as shown in the below screenshot. Click on Create button to create the Function App.Īfter the Function App is created successfully, create a new function in the Function App quoteextractor. I then also created a new Storage Account.

I have selected the Location as West US because the Cognitive Service subscription I have has the endpoint for the API from West US. On the other hand, if you choose App Service Plan you will be billed monthly based on the Service Plan you choose even if your function executes only few times a month or not even executed at all. If you choose Consumption Plan you will be billed only what you use or whenever your function executes. I named my Function App as quoteextractor and selected the Hosting Plan as Consumption Plan instead of App Service Plan. Let’s get started by provisioning a new Azure Function. Here is the extract of it from my architecture diagram. To accomplish this part of the project I planned to use Microsoft Cognitive Service Computer Vision API. One of the things I have to accomplish is to extract the text from the images that are being uploaded to the storage. I started to work on a project which is a combination of lot of intelligent APIs and Machine Learning stuff.
