PowerShell in Azure Functions
summary
Azure Functions runs PowerShell Core 6.2.0 as a native out‑of‑proc worker on Windows consumption, dedicated and premium plans, with managed dependencies currently limited to requirements.psd1 managed az modules and a profile.ps1 that grabs MSI tokens for auth. Demos show sending Teams messages using a saved PS‑Teams module; workarounds include sleeping 10–30s so background Az jobs can register. Missing or buggy pieces: Linux support, Durable Functions, ad types and queue visibility delay cross‑language. Cold starts are 10–30 seconds while warm starts hit ~250 ms.
