Deploy the Function Starter Kit template

The Function Starter Kit template contains the configurations for creating a function-based application without origin dependencies. This template simplifies the configuration process, so you can deploy a function that is ready to run.

The deployment of this template creates an application, a basic “Hello World” function, and a domain you manage through Azion Web Platform.

Prerequisites

This template uses Application Accelerator and Functions, and it may generate usage-related costs. Check the pricing page for more information.

Deploy the template

You obtain and configure the template through Azion Console. To deploy it, select the button below.

Deploy

Set up the template

In the configuration form, you must provide the information to configure your application. Fill in the presented fields.

Fields identified with an asterisk are mandatory.

Define a name for your application

The bucket for storage and the function will use the same name.
Use a unique, memorable name. If the name is already taken, the platform returns an error message.

Select Deploy

Select Deploy to start the deployment.

During the deployment, a window shows the logs. When it completes, the page shows the application and the options to continue.

The link opens the application in the browser. Propagating and configuring the application across Azion’s distributed network takes a few minutes, so the URL may not answer immediately.

Manage the template

Considering that this initial setup may not be optimal for your specific application, all settings can be customized any time you need by using Azion’s platform.

Add a custom domain

The application created during the deployment has an assigned Azion Workload domain to make it accessible through the browser. The domain has the following format: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net/. However, you can add a custom domain for users to access your application through it.
