Step 9: Deploy the Application Code to Azure

You've implemented the code and verified it works locally against your provisioned cloud resources. Now, deploy the application code to the Azure Function App created by azd provision.

  1. Go back to the Terminal and stop the local Functions host (View → Terminal)

    If it's still running - Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on macOS) in the func start terminal - wait a few seconds.

  2. Ensure your terminal is in the repository root directory (the one containing azure.yaml):

    # Navigate to repository root
cd ..

  3. Run the AZD deploy command:

    All platforms:

    azd deploy

    Note: This may take a couple minutes to deploy.

    This command performs the following:

    • Reads the azure.yaml file to determine which service code to deploy (configured to deploy the src directory to the Function App)
    • Packages your application code
    • Deploys the code to the Azure Function App provisioned earlier
    • Configures the application settings in the deployed Function App based on your .azure/snippy-mcp-lab-/.env file, ensuring it can connect to OpenAI, Cosmos DB, etc., in the cloud

  4. Wait for the deployment to complete successfully. AZD will output the endpoints for your deployed application, including the Function App's base URL (e.g., https://func-api-...azurewebsites.net).
