Getting started with Azure Function is quite easy similar to AWS Lambda. But if your function needs to call an API outside Azure network (e.g., Github API), there are ways you can set that up. One simple way is to just allow public access to your function. This enables inbound and outbound connections. However, of course, this opens up unintended inbound connections. If your function isn’t shared to anyone (e.g., just a scheduled function), that’d be fine. Otherwise, you need to set up your network to only allow outbound connections.
