Prerequisites

Setup azcli

Install azcli core tool from Azure on your local machine

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli

If core tools have been installed correctly, then func --version should work and return the current version.

Login with azcli

How to create the Azure Function

Step 1. In the Azure Portal create a new resource group
This resource group is used to group all assets related to this Azure Function.

Step 2. Create a new function locally

Run the following in command line.

func init az_functions --python -m V1
cd az_functions

Step 3. Edit the requirements.txt file generated and append the following to it

certifi==2023.5.7
charset-normalizer==3.1.0
databricks-sdk==0.1.8
idna==3.4
requests==2.28.2
urllib3==1.26.16

Step 4. Create the storage account needed for the function

az storage account create --name lhmgrant --resource-group <YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP> -sku Standard_LRS

Step 5. Create a new function based on the Timer trigger template

func new --name lhm-grant --template "Timer trigger"

Step 6. Download the python_provisioning.py and azure_main.py into the new function directory lhm-grant

Step 7. Edit azure_main.py and provide needed information for the grant code

Step 8. Change the cron schedule inside lhm-grant/function.json

func init will create a file function.json

Step 9. Change the lhm-grant/__init__.py file to call the grant function

import datetime
import logging

import azure.functions as func
from .azure_main import main as m


def main(mytimer: func.TimerRequest) -> None:
    m()

Step 10. Create the Azure Portal FunctionApp

az functionapp create --resource-group <YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP> --runtime python --runtime-version 3.7 --functions-version 4 --name lhm-grant --os-type linux --storage-account lhmgrant --consumption-plan-location <CONSUMPTION_PLAN_LOCATION>

Step 11. Publish the app

func azure functionapp publish lhm-grant
